Louie (Gravekeepers) vs. Mario (Gravekeepers)
We have ourselves a Gravekeeper mirror match! Both players may be the same deck archtype, but it remains to be seen if each deck is exactly the same, card for card.

A long drawn out match filled with back and forth counters only to give Louie the answers he need to power out of a stalemate and take game one. A costly mistake by Mario in game two during his first turn, has cost him any advantage and eliminated any chance of Mario maintaining control of the game, which gives Louie the green light slowly pick at Mario’s life points.
Louie defeats Mario 2-0!
