Summary
The game started off with Jan's Anje Falkenrath deck taking a quick start, drawing and discarding multiple cards through the use of Anje's ability in combination with numerous Madness cards. However, this initial momentum was stifled by the appearance of Drannith Magistrate courtesy of Jim's Tivit deck. The game took an interesting turn when Eliot's Grolnok deck used a clever combination of Gilded Drake and Neoform to regain control of Drannith Magistrate. Alex's Godo deck made an attempt to ramp up mana using Seething Song, but was interrupted by Jim's well-timed Necromancy on Drannith Magistrate.
