27:31 I think you could actually just kill them here if they don't have an instant. Bring back gatekeeper, attack all. Let's assume they block 4/4: we still get in for 3+2+1+1+2=9 damage. After combat, sac skoa, sac ophiomancer for treasure. Cast victimize sac'ing snake and bringing back ophiomancer and skoa. Ping for 2 with gatekeeper, skoa them for another 4. that's 15, then cast ghostfire for 19. You can even get a couple more points by sac'ing transmogrant and your other creatures and then bringing it back alongside making a creature with idol. You get enough treasures that you can do both and you end up with 21 points even if they block. Which means there's a chance that even if they have a spell they might still die, depending on what it is and how they block.

Yes! Nice job figuring out that puzzle. I wish I saw this line in the heat of the moment.
