Summary

The game featured a competitive multiplayer cEDH environment with four players piloting powerful commanders and high-efficiency decks. Early turns involved setting up mana bases, deploying artifact ramp such as Treasure Vault and Unlicensed Hearse, and playing key pieces including Magda, Brazen Outlaw, and various signets. Players exchanged small amounts of damage through combat and utilized disruption spells like Fierce Guardianship and Swan Song to protect critical plays. A pivotal turning point occurred when the Magda player assembled infinite treasures by leveraging Magda's ability combined with Dockside Extortionist and other artifact synergies, enabling a loop of untapping and creating treasures indefinitely. This was further enhanced by casting Maskwood Nexus and Zorn, the Relentless to turn all permanents into dwarves or dragons and generate infinite mana and creatures. The Magda deck then deployed Grinding Station and Memory Jar to mill out opponents, winning the game decisively through a combo finish. Throughout, players balanced aggression, disruption, and resource development in a tight, interactive cEDH contest.
