Summary

The game featured a high-powered cEDH multiplayer battle with five commanders: Magda, Brazen Outlaw; Lazav, the Multifarious; Korvold, Fae-Cursed King; Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh; and Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools. Early turns involved heavy mana acceleration and setup plays, including multiple mana rocks like Mana Vault, Grim Monolith, and Mox Diamond, as well as card advantage engines such as Skullclamp and Treasure generation from Korvold and Magda's dwarves. Players aggressively used tutors and interaction spells to disrupt opponents and advance their board states, with notable plays like Prayer's Grasp, Bottle Cap Blast, and Cyclonic Rift reshaping the board and tempo frequently. A key turning point was the casting of Doomsday by one player, combined with multiple layers of mana generation and card draw to establish a combo win. The player leveraged Demonic Consultation and other tutors to assemble the necessary pieces while protecting their strategy with counterspells and disruption. Eventually, the player executed a lethal sequence by leveraging the Lab Man combo, which ended the game decisively despite attempts from others to interact or defend. The win condition focused on a fast combo kill enabled by powerful artifact mana and card selection tools.
