Summary

The game kicked off with each player setting up their board states, with Max playing horrors-themed deck with Captain N'ghathrod, MJ focusing on demons with Be'lakor, the Dark Master, an unnamed player piloting a Prossh, Skyraider of Kher deck, and Nick venturing into dungeons with Nadaar, Selfless Paladin. The early game saw a mix of growing board states and strategic plays, with Prossh amassing a formidable army of Kobolds and Be'lakor creating multiple copies of Harvester of Souls. However, the game took a pivotal turn when MJ cast a Blasphemous Act, wiping the board and drawing a whopping 14 cards thanks to the pair of Harvesters. The game continued to evolve with players rebuilding their board states, but MJ's Be'lakor deck ultimately took control. Utilizing Extractor Demon synergised with Reflections of Littjara, MJ forced multiple players to mill significant portions of their decks.
