Summary

The game featured a matchup between a Krenko, Mob Boss goblin tribal deck and a Sultai graveyard-based deck led by The Mimeoplasm. The Krenko player aimed to build a large army of goblin tokens quickly, utilizing lords like Goblin War Chief and card draw engines such as Goblin Matron to maintain pressure.
