Summary

This high-stakes game kicked off with Chris's Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, quickly making its presence known by dealing 45 damage in a single turn. Several players were left scrambling to survive another hit, with the table teaming up to remove the threatening Yuriko. Despite the setback, Chris was able to ninjutsu Yuriko back onto the battlefield multiple times, but unfortunately drew lower cost cards that couldn't seal the victory. Meanwhile, Baal's Dihada, Binder of Wills, and Josh's Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin, both made their entrances, with Josh ultimately triumphing by creating a damage loop with Ob Nixilis and All Will Be One to ping opponents to death.
