Gameplay Summary

The game starts with a high level of aggression from Jason playing Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, quickly establishing a threatening board presence.

However, the tide of the game takes a significant shift when Josh, piloting Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger, unleashes a powerful sequence of plays involving a well-timed Fire Covenant to clear the board and pave the way for his strategy.

Despite the heavy life cost, this play effectively resets the board state and puts Josh in a strong position.

Throughout the game, players exhibit strong interaction, with Carlos's Chulane deck struggling due to mana issues, and Ben's First Sliver deck trying to assemble its combo pieces.
