Summary

The game began with a quick Trinisphere from Krenko, Baron of Tin Street, which slowed down the opponents considerably. However, Krenko later sacrificed the Trinisphere in favor of a more aggressive strategy, which included casting Hornfel, Horn of Bounty and activating its discard ability for card advantage. Delney, Streetwise Lookout, despite having a slower start due to the Trinisphere, managed to stabilize with the help of Welcoming Vampire and Giver of Runes. Anzrag, the Quake-Mole, capitalized on others' slowed down state and managed to establish a solid board presence with the One Ring and Goblin Fire Slinger. Wheel of Fortune was cast by Krenko, forcing all players to discard their hands and draw new cards, shifting the dynamic of the game dramatically. The game was left on a cliffhanger with Krenko's player casting Jeska's Will and generating a significant amount of mana.
