Summary
The game started off at a fast pace with an early Minsk, Beloved Ranger from the Ukkima/Cazur deck, and a Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy from the Kinnan deck, both hitting the field early on. However, the tide of the game quickly turned when a Rhystic Study was cast by the Jeska/Ishai player, and the table was unable to effectively pay the tax, allowing the Jeska/Ishai player to pull ahead in card advantage. A pivotal moment occurred when a Seedborn Muse from the Kinnan deck was met with a flurry of Mental Missteps and a Swords to Plowshares, effectively taking the Kinnan player out of the running. The game's progress from this point is unclear.
