    The Queza player's decision to play Howling Mine was a shrewd move. This card forces all players to draw an additional card each turn, which directly feeds into Queza's ability to deal damage and gain life.

    The use of Vampiric Tutor by the Edgar Markov player indicates a move to secure a key combo piece or answer to an imminent threat. This shows the importance of tutoring cards in Commander to obtain crucial elements of the deck.

Gameplay Summary

The game started with a flurry of early plays, including ramping up mana bases and setting up potential combo pieces.

As the game progressed, tension rose when an infinite combo was potentially identified.

The suspense was palpable as the players tried to discern whether they were indeed facing an unstoppable win condition.

Unfortunately, the transcript ends abruptly before we get a clear resolution.

However, we can deduce that the player piloting the Queza, Augur of Agonies deck was attempting to control the game by forcing opponents to draw cards, thus triggering Queza's ability to deal damage and gain life.
