Gameplay Insights

    Cameron's timely use of Counterspell on Logan's Dreadhound prevented a potentially game-ending combo with Mindcrank.

    Chandler's consistent pressure with Goro-Goro's dragons forced other players to respond or face significant damage.

Summary

The game started with each player deploying their resources and setting up their engines. Logan's Syr Konrad deck attempted to establish a mill engine with Mindcrank and Dreadhound, but Cameron's Nymris deck kept it in check with a counterspell. Chandler's Goro-Goro deck exerted pressure with a strong board presence, consistently attacking with dragons. Unfortunately, the transcript doesn't provide information on the game's conclusion.
