Gameplay Summary
The game began with players developing their boards cautiously, ramping mana and playing key artifacts like Moxen and mana rocks.
Early interactions included a Vampiric Tutor attempt countered by a Mind Sensor, disrupting a planned combo.
Throughout the midgame, one player leveraged Dargo, the Shipwrecker's ability to generate treasures and sacrifice creatures, enabling a series of powerful spells including Dark Rituals and repeated recursion of Dargo itself.
This fueled a crescendo of mana acceleration and card advantage. The pivotal moment came when the player piloting Dargo combined it with Altar of Dementia and other sacrifice outlets, creating a lethal milling loop against all opponents.
Despite some disruption and counterplay attempts, the combo was unstoppable, leading to a swift conclusion with all players milled out simultaneously.
The game highlighted the power of recursive sacrifice and treasure generation synergies in cEDH, with the win condition centered around milling the entire table using a combo involving Dargo and Altar of Dementia.
