Gameplay Summary

The game unfolds with each player advancing their unique strategies in a highly interactive cEDH environment.

Early turns involve setting up mana acceleration and deploying key artifacts like Repurposing Bay and Lotus Pedal, enabling explosive plays.

Hashaton leverages artifact synergies and powerful creatures, while Kinnan aims to generate infinite mana combos.

Sisay sets up for powerful infinite combat or planeswalker drain combos, and Krark/Silas focuses on a Demo Consult combo finish.

A key moment involves players managing Tivet, the Sphinx Monarch, which triggers voting and token generation impacting life totals and resources.

Krark/Silas uses Vampiric Tutor and artifact recursion to find critical combo pieces, while other players carefully negotiate responses to potentially game-altering plays.

The board state grows complex with multiple flying creatures, tokens, and mana sources, as each player jockeys for position and prepares for their win conditions.

The tension rises as players consider targeted removal and stalling tactics to prevent others from achieving their combos, culminating in a strategically dense game of resource management and timing.
