Summary

The game began with a notably slow and cautious early game, as all four players prioritized setting up their mana bases and deploying early card advantage spells such as Mystic Remora. Each player secured early spirits and mana dorks to accelerate their board development. The tension rose when the player piloting The Wise Mothman successfully flashed in an Opposition Agent, stealing a key card and gaining a strong tempo advantage. Subsequently, a pivotal moment occurred when the same player assembled an infinite combo involving Eternal Scourge, which was repeatedly exiled to generate an enormous amount of mana. This mana was then used to repeatedly cast The Wise Mothman, leading to all players milling their entire libraries simultaneously, which promptly ended the game. The win condition was a mill-out executed by the infinite mana and repeat casting combo, showcasing a powerful synergy and timing in cEDH play.
