Summary

The game kicked off with a fast start as Serge played Najeela, the Blade-Blossom on turn one using a Jeweled Lotus. However, Jerry quickly neutralized the threat with a Lightning Bolt. Jerry then attempted to lock down the game with a Blood Moon, but was thwarted by Benjamin Wheeler's Mindbreak Trap. Jerry continued to apply pressure, casting a Grenzo, Havoc Raiser and making aggressive attacks, leading to card advantage via Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Grenzo's abilities. A key turning point came when Jerry cast Jeska's Will, generating considerable advantage by adding mana and exiling cards from the top of his library. The game's outcome, however, remains unclear from the available information.
