Gameplay Summary
The game features a high-stakes cEDH multiplayer match with four competitive decks: Norman Osborn // Green Goblin, Tymna the Weaver paired with Kraum, Ludevic's Opus, The Gitrog Monster, and Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow.
Early turns see explosive mana acceleration and resource development, notably with Grim Monolith, Mox Opal, and multiple mana dorks enabling fast deployment of powerful commanders and spells.
The Green Goblin deck quickly establishes board presence but faces strong pressure from the card advantage engines of Tymna/Kraum and Gitrog, who focus on drawing cards and triggering graveyard interactions to fuel combos.
Meanwhile, Yuriko’s deck opts for a stealthy, combat-based approach aiming to maximize damage through ninjutsu and evasive creatures.
