Gameplay Summary

The game featured a high-powered multiplayer cEDH match with four decks vying for control and a win.

Oran piloted Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign, focusing on casting large, free spells by flipping cards off the top of his library, while Cal played the Malcolm and Tana partner combo deck, aiming to leverage infinite combat interactions.

Jen piloted Godo, Bandit Warlord, with a plan to assemble infinite combat steps using Helm of the Host, and Rich piloted the Tymna and Tana stax deck, seeking to control the board and execute a Protean Hulk combo for the win. Early turns saw aggressive ramp and utility plays like Oran establishing Mystic Remora and casting Yennett, Cal deploying Mana Vault and Malcolm, Jen setting up with Lotus Petal and Gamble, and Rich developing a stax presence with Aven Mindcensor and Goblin Bombardment.

Oran’s Yennett proved pivotal, as he successfully cast a Nezahal Primal Tide for free and leveraged Blatant Thievery to steal key permanents, disrupting opponents’ strategies.

Cal responded with removal and disruption like Snap and Fierce Guardianship to protect his combo pieces.

Rich attempted to slow the game with stax elements and a Protean Hulk combo setup, while Jen sought to assemble her infinite combat combo but faced disruption. The game was marked by intense interaction over key spells, with counters and responses shaping the board state.

Oran’s strategic use of Soothsaying and card advantage spells kept him ahead, while the other players maneuvered around his control and tempo.

The match’s tension built around maintaining combo pieces and protecting or disrupting critical permanents, with the win condition revolving around executing infinite combat steps or combos once the board was sufficiently established.
