Savjz uses Conceal on the Auctioneer, but Admirable is able to use Wild Pyromancer, Lightning Storm, and the coin to clear it from the board.

Al’akir hits the board for Admirable, but Savjz is able to clear it with a Deadly Poison and Blade Flurry. Savjz is looking for Leeroy, but doesn’t draw it with 8 cards left in his deck. Savjz uses double Cold Blood on his hexed minion making one of the biggest frog’s I’ve ever seen. Savjz digs for Leeroy with a Coldlight Oracle, but still can’t pull it from the deck.
