Gameplay Summary
The game started off in a typical Cedh fashion with players setting up their boards and making strategic plays.
Fernando's Najeela deck was able to establish an early board presence with an Esper Sentinel and Collector Ouphe, disrupting the opponents' strategies.
However, the game took a significant turn when Hidden's Korvold deck attempted a risky tainted pact strategy, aiming to find his Dockside Extortionist and execute a combo, but he pushed the envelope a bit too far and exiled most of his deck.
Fernando took advantage of this by countering Hidden's crucial Twinflame spell, which would have potentially won him the game.
This left Hidden in a very vulnerable state with no cards left in his library.
The game ended with Fernando's board retaining its strong presence.
