Summary

In a high stakes match, featuring the talents of Joshua Moore from We Came as Romans, the gameplay was intense and filled with spectacular plays. Matt's Orvar deck demonstrated an impressive infinite mana combo to secure the first game, using Paragr Drake, Leap, and Aether Channeler to fuel his strategy. The second game saw Cameron switching to his Omo deck, but an unfortunate play saw him lose a key card, Urza's Mine, to Joshua's Dothy Voidwalker. Despite this setback, Cameron managed to bounce back with a clever use of Phasing Out on Matt's Orvar. Eventually, Ethan's Storm-Kiln Artist and Matt's Thunder-Trap Trainer created interesting dynamics on the board, leading to a thrilling conclusion.
