Summary

The game started off with each player setting up their board states, with Tim quickly establishing himself as a threat by casting Queen Marchesa and becoming the monarch. However, Justin playing Grismold, the Dreadsower and enhancing it with a Virulent Plague created a dangerous threat on the board.
