Game 4
Artosis – Aggro Warrior vs. Savjz – Ramp Druid

Savjz jumps out an Ancient of Lore with his second Innervate. Artosis is in trouble and slams Savjz with an Arcanite Reaper. Unfortunately, another Ancient of Lore comes out for Savjz which heals him back up to 20. Savjz has two Ancient of Lore on the board and he taunts one up with Mark of the Wild, which takes Artosis down to 6. Artosis sees that he can’t get passed the taunt and finishes himself off by attacking the Ancient of Lore! Savjz dominates this game and takes it in a sweep, 4 – 0!
