Summary

The game began with each player establishing their mana bases and early board presence, with Jeska leveraging fast mana and Magda developing a dwarf and treasure synergy. Early disruption appeared in the form of Blood Moon and Nature's Claim interactions, highlighting the tension between mana denial and recovery. Jeska's deck quickly set up key artifacts like Mana Crypt and Elixir of Immortality to stabilize and gain life. The game escalated when Narset cast Rite of Flame and other spells to generate significant mana and card advantage, while Tayam used green Sun's Zenith to tutor pivotal creatures and ramp further. The critical turning point came during the mid-game when Jeska executed a highly efficient combo involving Underworld Breach, LED, Spellseeker, and Brain Freeze. Jeska discarded multiple cards to set up a storm kill, using Spellseeker to fetch Brain Freeze and then casting it to mill the entire table in one swift sequence. This abrupt and well-timed combo ended the game before other players could fully develop their strategies or respond effectively. Overall, the gameplay featured classic cEDH elements such as early mana acceleration, disruption, and fast combo execution. Jeska's deck capitalized on storm and graveyard recursion mechanics to quickly close out the game, demonstrating the deck's potential for explosive turns and swift victories.
