Summary

The first game featured a multi-player cEDH match with aggressive ramp and combo strategies vying for control. Baal on Edric, Spymaster of Trest aimed to leverage unblockable creatures and card draw engines like Mystic Remora to build momentum, while Sean piloted a Thrasios and Rograhk deck focused on fast ramp into combo pieces such as Isochron Scepter with Dramatic Reversal. Ian’s Selvala Brostorm deck utilized Gaea’s Cradle and Umbral Mantle to generate infinite mana and close out the game with a massive Finale of Devastation. David’s Kels deck employed heavy ramp and card advantage tools, including Dark Confidant and Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, but was ultimately outpaced by Ian’s explosive mana combo and large board presence. The key turning point was Ian achieving infinite mana and using Finale of Devastation to overwhelm opponents and secure the win. In the second game, Chris played an Inalla combo deck aiming to assemble a spell-based infinite combo with cards like Hullbreacher and Spellseeker, while Evan piloted a Godo Helm deck that seeks a fast equipment combo finish. David and Baal brought control and combo elements with cards like Talisman of Dominance, Looter il-Kor, and extra turn spells, creating a tense early game. Chris’s Hullbreacher proved disruptive, taxing opponents’ card draws, and the game revolved around managing mana efficiency and interaction. Although the transcript cuts off mid-game, the early turns showed a typical cEDH opening with ramp, card draw, and careful interaction shaping the board state.
