This is a ranked Diamond match. The game had the following rule sets: Heavy Metal, Fog of War, and Briar Patch. It was a 23 mana game with only Life inactive. I went with Lorkus and started with the Weapons training combination of Grimbardun Smith, Moxian Rebel, and Conclave Artificer. I finished the team with Forked-Tongue Sage. They opted for Razi Clanktrap and placed Cavewise Wayfinder in front. They also used a Weapons Training combination of Conclave Artificer, Moxian Rebel, and Chaos Animator. I gave Life Leech and Affliction to my first two units.

Wayfinder's Ambush attack only did one damage to the Smith's armor, but it powered up the Conclave Artificer because it is a Gnome, and it received Painforge from the summoner. In fact, all of their units were Gnomes, so Electrified can power up all but the Rebel. In round 1, we traded attacks. My Smith ended at 5 HP and their Wayfinder at 3. In the second round, Electrified did its thing, and the Wayfinder died to Thorns after attacking. After all the buffs on their units, they were able to take out my Smith. In the following round, Water Diviner finished my Rebel, but Forked-Tongue Sage did the same to their Artificer. My Artificer also finished their Rebel. In round 4, the Diviner Stunned my Artificer, and things were getting scary. At the start of the fifth round, their Diviner was at just 2 HP and the Animator at 1. However, they had 7 and 6 attack, respectively. Both of our front units died. In the following round the game would come to an end. It was a speed tie with the same rarity and the same attack type. If they attacked first, it would be a draw because of Magic Reflect. If mine attacked first, I would get the win. Thankfully, I won the coin flip and the game was mine.
