Summary

The game began with players developing their mana bases and setting up early plays, with some ramp and card draw spells exchanged. Key interactions involved early attempts to establish board presence and disruption, notably with Glarb's potential to dominate the late game if Kodama of the East Tree was allowed to resolve. A pivotal moment occurred when a reanimation attempt targeting Kodama was countered, preventing a major late-game threat. As the game progressed, players jockeyed for control, using discard and counterspells to limit each other's options. The turning point came when General Sarcasm successfully assembled a Food Chain combo involving Ukkima, Stalking Shadow, and Eternal Scourge, enabling infinite creature mana generation and repetitive damage output. Despite attempts by other players to disrupt this combo, the synergy proved unstoppable, leading to a swift victory on turn four. The game highlighted the power of timely interaction and the explosive potential of Food Chain combos in cEDH play.
