Gameplay Summary
The game unfolded with four competitive decks jockeying for position in a high-stakes cEDH match.
Early turns were filled with pivotal countermagic and disruption, notably James (God-Eternal Kefnet) countering key plays like Doomsday and Food Chain with Force of Will and Swan Song, establishing a defensive posture.
Garrett (Silas Renn/Thrasios) developed a strong board presence with value creatures, signets, and Azcanta while also countering threats with cards like Mana Drain and Delay.
Mike (The First Sliver) attempted to establish his Food Chain combo but was consistently disrupted by countermagic, slowing his progression.
Ryan (Breya, Etherium Shaper) played a reanimator and combo control game, setting up key artifacts and spells to enable his combos. The turning point came when James demonstrated his ability to take infinite turns using God-Eternal Kefnet’s emblem combined with Beacon of Tomorrows and Jace, the Mind Sculptor.
This loop allowed repeated extra turns, but he was eventually stopped by Flusterstorm.
Ryan then capitalized on the disruption by assembling an infinite mana loop with Auriok Salvagers and Lion's Eye Diamond.
Using this infinite mana, Ryan cast and repeatedly sacrificed Breya, Ethereum Shaper to drain the table, winning decisively.
The game highlighted the importance of disruption, infinite turn combos, and artifact synergies in cEDH play.
