A midrange Dimir control deck with flicker and reanimation elements, aiming to leverage Talion’s abilities alongside combo pieces like Animate Dead and sac outlets to win through infinite tokens or value engines.
Tymna the Weaver & Krark, the Thumbless

Gameplay Insights

Using Opposition Agent early to steal opponents' fetch lands can be pivotal in disrupting their mana base and tempo.

Holding back on tutors and interaction to respond to opponents' plays allows for more flexible and reactive gameplay in a high-interaction meta.
- 3
Playing Trinisphere early can slow down opponents and protect aggressive combo lines in Godo decks.
- 4
Combining Animate Dead with sac outlets like Altar pieces can lead to infinite combos, but requires careful mana planning and protection.

Gameplay Summary
The game features a competitive four-player cEDH match with Godo, Bandit Warlord; Nikara & Yannik; Talion, the Kindly Lord; and Tymna & Krark.
Early turns focus heavily on ramp and setting up key pieces.
Nikara quickly establishes board presence with mana acceleration and artifact plays, while Talion aims to leverage his unique abilities and a strategic flicker/reanimator subtheme, trying to assemble combos involving Animate Dead and other sac outlets.
Godo’s player employs a fast-paced aggressive strategy with classic equipment combos, including the use of Trinisphere to protect their game plan. A pivotal moment occurs when Talion’s player attempts to use Opposition Agent to disrupt opponents' land drops and tutors, aiming to gain tempo and control in the midgame.
Meanwhile, Nikara & Yannik’s deck uses flicker and reanimation strategies to generate value and pressure, attempting to find a combo or overwhelming board state.
The game features intense interaction around tutors and mana acceleration, with players carefully weighing when to deploy threats or hold up interaction.
The game likely progresses into a tense midgame where each player tries to exploit their combos or board control to secure a win, with Talion testing the limits of his archetype against more established cEDH strategies.
