Gameplay Summary

A dynamic game unfolded where each player utilized their unique creature or card type to their advantage.

Early in the game, Sam's Go-Shintai of Life's Origin deck, focused around shrines, got off to a promising start.

However, Cameron's Zask, Skittering Swarmlord deck, centered around insects, picked up momentum in the mid-game, with successful plays of Getrog Monster and Hornet Nest.

Towards the end of the game, Cody's Lathliss, Dragon Queen deck, a monored Dragon deck, was able to leverage the power of Ancient Hellkite and Hellkite Courser, almost securing the victory.

Despite a strong showing from Kaden's Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver deck, a dimir deck revolving around zombies, it was unable to overcome the dragon onslaught.
