Summary

The game featured a four-player cEDH match with aggressive and combo-centric decks vying for control. Early turns saw key mana acceleration plays such as Soul Ring, Grim Monolith, and Jewel Lotus enabling fast development. Ikra Shidiqi's lifegain synergy and Kraum, Ludevic's Opus with Thrasios, Triton Hero's card advantage engine shaped the early board state. Jeska, Thrice Reborn's board control ability proved pivotal when it wiped multiple creatures simultaneously, resetting the board and shifting momentum. As the game progressed, the Turbo Naus player leveraged Ad Nauseam alongside fast mana and discard outlets to assemble a lethal combo, ultimately winning by executing a chain involving LED, Lotus Petal, and Underworld Bridge. Despite missing early land drops, Silas Renn's deck managed to maintain pressure with card draw and disruption but was eventually overwhelmed. Throughout the game, players balanced aggressive attacks, resource denial, and combo setup, with the key turning point being the Turbo Naus player's successful Ad Nauseam combo finish after stabilizing the board with Jeska's board wipe.
