Summary

The game featured unique and aggressive strategies from each player with their respective decks. The early game saw a race to establish board presence through creatures and enchantments. Richard's Codie, Vociferous Codex deck was a notable highlight, with a strategy revolving around exiling slimes using Codie and Test of Talents, then cascading into more slimes and giving them haste for a rapid attack strategy. However, the game took a turn when a 'Descent into Avernus' and 'Roiling Vortex' were played, causing everyone to take damage on upkeep and accelerating the game pace. The 'Persistent Petitioners' deck also had a strong showing, milling the opponents. The game ended suddenly when a 'Deflecting Swat' was played to counter a critical spell, changing the game's outcome.
