Summary
The game started with a fast pace, with Rielle entering the battlefield on the first turn thanks to a Jeweled Lotus. The game swung back and forth with big plays, such as a Cyclonic Rift from Mox (Tymna/Kraum) that got countered and rebounded, clearing the board twice. The game reached its climax when Hidden (Rielle) managed to stick an Underworld Breach and use it to fuel a game-winning combo, despite Goto's (Godo) attempt to disrupt it with a Chaos Warp.
