Summary
The game started with players developing their boards, but it quickly escalated when Curie, Emergent Intelligence, managed to get a massive draw engine going by copying Kellogg, Dangerous Mind's 12-power artifact creature with a Phantasmal Image, drawing 12 cards in the process. Despite this impressive move, Tyler, playing The Wise Mothman, had a double protected win with Food Chain combo, but was stopped by a combined effort from the other players. The game reached a turning point when Cameron, playing Curie, Emergent Intelligence, managed to wipe the board with a Mindbreak Trap, nullifying Tyler's win attempt. The game continued with players attempting to rebuild their boards and find a path to victory, but the transcript ended before the game conclusion could be determined.
