Gameplay Summary

The game started off with a bang as Joshua's Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow deck was able to get off a few early attacks with 'Ninjas', triggering Yuriko and putting his opponents on the back foot.

Deco's Vial Smasher the Fierce and Thrasios, Triton Hero deck, however, was able to stabilize the board with some mid-range combos, using Thrasios as an outlet for infinite mana.

Meanwhile, Kess, Dissident Mage, piloted by Mod, was able to land an advantage engine early on and began to make a play for the win with Underworld Breach combos.

The second Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow deck, piloted by Jacob, was also managing to make some headway, though was slightly behind the others.
