Summary

The game kicked off with each player setting up their board state, with notable early plays including the casting of Humility, Thalia, Heretic Cathar, and a Chalice of the Void set at one. The game took a significant turn when a Solitude was evoked, targeting and exiling a Collector Ouphe, opening up the possibility for artifact-based plays. This was followed by a powerful play from the Ishai/Jeska player, who activated Jeska's zero ability to give Ishai triple strike and swung for lethal damage at the Aurelia player, eliminating them from the game. In the later stages of the game, a Supreme Verdict was cast with an extort trigger, wiping the board and shifting the tempo.
