Summary

The game began with players developing their boards through mana acceleration and setting up early defenses. Magda, Brazen Outlaw, utilized treasures and hasty threats like Liberated Dwarf and Smuggler's Copter to apply early pressure and generate mana. The game featured a critical interaction involving multiple Gilded Lotus and defense grid combos, with players casting spells repeatedly via graveyard recursion and flashback-like effects to generate value and disrupt opponents. A key moment occurred when containment priest was played, slowing down certain graveyard strategies and forcing players to adjust their plans. One player leveraged a sequence involving repeated casting of cards like Git Probe and Mog Salvage to control information and remove threats, while another aimed to flip a key commander to ease their combo assembly. Ultimately, the player piloting Ellivere of the Wild Court managed to break the stalemate by removing containment priest and assembling a winning line involving multiple spells copied and recast, leading to a decisive victory. The game showcased intricate interactions with recursion and protection effects, highlighting the importance of timing and resource management in cEDH games.
