Summary
A fierce battle unfolded between the players, with unpredictable turns of events. Early in the game, a pre-emptive Blasphemous Act from Rog/Tevesh's player, Brazy, cleared the board, setting the pace. The players meticulously navigated around various stax pieces, including Deafening Silence and Drannith Magistrate. The game reached a critical point when Kaalia's player, Hidden, managed to get Villis on the board through Kaalia's attack trigger, setting up powerful card draw engine. Despite facing multiple disruptions including Deflecting Swat and a board-wiping Toxic Deluge, Hidden managed to win the game by reanimating Thassa's Oracle from Ginger's graveyard and subsequently casting Tainted Pact.
