Summary
The game began at a brisk pace with Rograkh and Ikra's player launching an aggressive Necropotence strategy. They paid a hefty life toll for a large suite of cards, setting up an explosive next turn. However, their plan was cut short due to a Final Fortune play, causing them to lose the game at their next turn's end. Meanwhile, Ramirez DePietro's player took a more conservative approach, developing their board with a Notion Thief. River Song's player attempted to combo off with a Polymorphist's Jest and Conjuror's Bauble, but the play was disrupted by Notion Thief. The game continued with the remaining players jockeying for advantage.
