Summary
The game started with a strong offensive from Maximus with his Yuriko deck, dealing significant damage early in the game. However, a combined effort from the other players managed to stall him, preventing Yuriko from dealing unchecked damage. Mika was then able to leverage his Anje Falkenrath deck's discard mechanic in conjunction with Archfiend of Ifnir, effectively controlling the board state. However, Kevin's Klothys deck proved to be the most resilient. He was able to maintain a steady card advantage and managed to cast a game-changing Scapeshift, fetching Valakut and several mountains to deal significant damage. Ultimately, Kevin's strategy paid off and he won the game by finishing off Maximus with a Valakut trigger.
