Summary

The game started off quite aggressively with powerful ramp from Arger's Breena deck that allowed him to rapidly cast his commander and press the attack. Jon's Kozilek deck was able to put up a defense with early creature plays, but Matt's Esika deck took the opportunity to reset the board with a 'Time Wipe.' From there, the game was a back-and-forth battle with notable swings in board state and significant card interactions. Ultimately, Matt's deck was able to gain the upper hand and secure the victory thanks to well-timed plays.
