Gameplay Summary

The game featured a competitive cEDH multiplayer match with five players piloting aggressive and combo-oriented decks.

Early turns saw players establishing mana bases and deploying key ramp and utility artifacts such as Jeweled Lotus, Chromatic Star, and Ancient Tomb, setting up for explosive plays.

Magda’s board presence pressured opponents early, while Tasha’s Witch Queen was deployed to generate card advantage and control options.

The interaction between Sakashima and Kodama allowed for cascading permanent recursion and artifact retrieval, enabling a complex loop involving Cloudstone Curio and various mana rocks.

This loop created a near-infinite sequence that forced one player to concede due to the overwhelming combo potential.

Throughout the game, players used disruption like Force of Will and Trickbind to contest critical plays, but the intricate artifact-based combo ultimately decided the game in favor of the player piloting Sakashima and Kodama.
