Alex played out G’Nort and smacked for 1 when Scott had nothing.

Turn 2

Turn 3

Alex played Emerald Dawn on Kyle Rayner to get Dr. Light, Master of Holograms and used him to get Kyle back, who in turn got Helping Hand. Scott did the same thing too, except he fetched Breaking Ground. A team attack from Kyle and G’Nort onto Scott’s Kyle stunned G’Nort, and that was turn. The score was 48-47 in Alex’s favor.

Turn 4

Scott flipped Book of Oa and discarded Arisia. Scott replaced his old Kyle with a new Kyle to get Helping Hand. He then played Black Hand behind Dr. Light and revived Arisia behind Kyle. Lastly Scott flipped Birthing Chamber and drew a card. Alex’s turn was much simpler; he played Malvolio in front of G’Nort. Scott tried to exhaust Malvolio with Rain of Acorns, but Alex played two Entangles. Both players passed to turn 5 after Arisia attack Black Hand and Scott gained some endurance with his Black Hand. The score was 54-46

Turn 5

Katma Tui came into play, and Alex formed with her in front of G’Nort, Malvolio in front of Black Hand in the middle column, and Dr. Light protecting Kyle. Scott then Booked, but before he discarded, he drew a card from Birthing Chamber. This prompted Paul Ross to come over to resolve the thing. Both players received a warning and Scott recruited Malvolio and Olapet.

Alex’s Kyle attacked into Arisia, but a Helping Hand from Scott made sure she stayed around a combat step longer. Alex flipped Rain of Acorns and exhausted G’Nort to exhaust Scott’s Malvolio, but before that resolved, Scott exhausted Malvolio to Breaking Ground the Rain of Acorns. Alex’s Malvolio then attacked Black Hand for 5 endurance loss.

Katma Tui then proceeded to attack Olapet, but a Cover Fire from Scott ensured that Olapet also stuck around for another combat step. Scott’s Kyle attacked G’Nort, but Alex also had a Helping Hand from turn 2. Before Scott went into the recovery phase, he exhausted his remaining two characters to recover Black Hand. During the recovery step, both played gained insane amounts of life, and the endurance totals stood at 59-64 in Scott’s favor.

Turn 6

Scott used The Ring Has Chosen to get G’Nort and discard him so he could revive from the KO’d pile. Scott also played Sinestro, Green Lantern of Korugar and put him in the support row. Alex also had Sinestro and placed him behind Katma Tui.

Scott used G’Nort to try to exhaust Kyle, but Kyle and Malvolio exhausted to gain Alex 5 endurance. Scott then tried using Malvolio to exhaust Katma Tui, but she and Dr. Light exhausted to gain another 5 endurance. Then Sinestro exhausted to gain yet another 5 endurance. There were no more attacks, and both players gained lots of endurance via Black Hand to put the endurance totals at 93-86 in Alex’s favor.

Turn 7

Alex used another Ring Has Chosen and got Olapet, then revived him with the good doctor. Guy Gardner, Egomaniac was recruited behind Malvolio. Scott drew two cards from Birthing Chamber, Booked for six, Ringed for Katma Tui, and then recruited Katma Tui. Alex got to attack but then passed.
