Summary
The game began with an early display of aggression from Slicer, who managed to land a few early hits and draw cards using Sword of Fire and Ice. This was soon followed by Kess trying to control the board but struggling due to the presence of Slicer. Etali then entered the battlefield, using its ability to cast spells from opponents' decks. The game saw a turn of events when Evelyn tried to go for a win with an Underworld Breach combo, but luck was not in his favor as he discarded the breach and lost on his turn due to the Final Fortune. Etali continued to dominate the board, flipping into a 9 mana dino and wiping out Rob with lethal infect damage. Slicer, struggling with the Blood Moon, equipped his recruiter with various equipments, but it was not enough to stop the rampaging dino. The game ended with a double infect dino victory from Etali.
