Gameplay Summary

The game featured a fast-paced cEDH match with four players piloting powerful commanders, including two five-color decks and a landfall-focused strategy.

Early turns involved efficient mana ramp and setting up key pieces, with players deploying artifacts like Lotus Petal and Soul Ring to accelerate their plays.

Significant interaction occurred around a Wheel of Fortune cast, which reshuffled players' hands and led to a flurry of card draws and plays.
