Summary

The game featured a fast-paced cEDH match with four commanders: Ezuri, Renegade Leader; Aragorn, the Uniter; Godo, Bandit Warlord; and The First Sliver. Early turns were focused on ramping mana and setting up critical pieces like Priest of Titania, Birds of Paradise, and mana artifacts such as Mana Crypt and Mana Vault. A key moment occurred when a player attempted an Intuition play but missequenced their actions, resulting in a missed immediate win opportunity. Later, a Tainted Pact and Thassa's Oracle combo nearly clinched the game, but interaction from opponents prevented the win at that time. The final decisive play came from Godo, who leveraged multiple combat phases triggered by his attacks and untapping samurai tokens, creating an infinite combat loop that overwhelmed the table and secured victory.
