Summary

The game started off with all players setting up their boards with various creatures, particularly the Rat Colony from the Ashcoat deck. The game's turning point came when Jon cast a Languish, wiping the board except for Ashcoat. Despite this setback, Matt from the Ashcoat deck quickly rebuilt his board with Rat Colonies. However, Jon, playing Korlash, steadily gained life and dealt significant damage thanks to the Mask of Grizzlebrand and Inquisitor's Flail equipped to Korlash. In the end, it was Max's Dragon Hawk deck that stole the show with a powerful Suim Mauhim Dominis in combination with Keeper of Secrets, dealing massive damage to all opponents each turn. Despite attempts by other players to control his board, Max's Dragon Hawk deck was unstoppable, leading to his victory.
