Summary
The game started off with all players revealing their hands and casting their commanders. Early on, Mike's Malcolm was countered by Noah's Daze, showing the potential pace and interactivity of the game. As the game progressed, Griffin tried to execute a Finale of Devastation, but was thwarted by Hidden's Opposition Agent and Mike's Force of Negation. Noah's gamble of casting Underworld Breach didn't pay off initially, but he managed to recast it later. He followed it up with a Warrior's Oath, signalling a combo setup. Noah then cast Beseech the Queen and, despite Mike's attempt to counter it with a Tainted Pact, Noah responded with an Underworld Breach. With Lion's Eye Diamond and Brain Freeze in his arsenal, Noah overwhelmed his opponents, forcing them to concede.
