Deck & Commander Strategies
Zur the Enchanter
Zur aims to cheat powerful enchantments into play quickly, controlling the board and locking opponents out while assembling combos or win conditions through enchantments.
Selvala, Heart of the Wilds
Selvala leverages her mana generation and card draw abilities to ramp quickly into combo pieces or powerful creatures, often enabling infinite mana combos through untapping and mana dorks.
Tymna the Weaver
Tymna focuses on incremental card draw via combat damage and supports a fast, efficient value-based combo or aggro plan, often paired with Kraum for additional pressure and card advantage.
Kraum, Ludevic's Opus
Kraum provides supplementary card draw and damage through combat, helping to fuel Tymna's deck strategy, enabling quick access to combo pieces or interaction spells.
Dargo, the Shipwrecker
Dargo uses aggressive combat and disruption to pressure opponents, often leveraging artifact destruction and combat damage to clear paths and secure early wins.

Gameplay Summary
The game started with typical cEDH opening plays focusing on mana acceleration and interaction.
Early turns involved players setting up their mana bases with fetch lands, mana rocks like Lion's Eye Diamond, and creatures such as Imperial Recruiter.
A key moment came when one player cast a Silence to disrupt opponents' ability to respond, highlighting the high interaction pace of the game.
Throughout the midgame, players carefully managed their resources, holding back on tapping out due to threats like a Bubble effect that could punish overextension. As the game progressed, there was a slow build toward combos involving creatures that untap lands and generate infinite mana, such as Hierarch Scouts and utilizing cards like Kraum to enable extra card draw and spells.
One player eyed a Tooth and Nail combo to win, but opponents remained vigilant with countermagic and removal, including a well-timed Swan Song.
Despite multiple attempts and mana-intensive plays, no immediate win was achieved early on.
The tension rose as players weighed interaction versus pushing for a win, with some admitting they could not win on their current turn but were preparing for later lethal plays.
The game showcased the delicate balance of resource management and interaction typical in cEDH multiplayer games.
