Gameplay Summary
The game featured four powerful decks vying for control and victory in a competitive multiplayer Commander setting.
Early turns saw aggressive mana development and key setup plays such as Dockside Extortionist generating treasures and Mystic Remora applying card draw pressure.
Shaun, piloting Dargo/Thrasios, quickly established a strong treasure economy with Dockside Extortionist and used Tidespout Tyrant on the battlefield to create a loop bouncing Dockside and Lotus Petal to generate infinite treasures.
This mana engine allowed him to cast Thrasios repeatedly, drawing his entire deck and flooding the board with lands and permanents. Shaun then cast an overloaded Cyclonic Rift, clearing opponents' boards, and used Finale of Devastation with an enormous X value to pump his creatures and grant haste, swinging in for a decisive attack.
Other players tried to disrupt with counterspells and interaction like Fierce Guardianship and Miscast, but Shaun's infinite mana and treasure generation proved overwhelming.
The game displayed classic cEDH elements like infinite combos, efficient mana acceleration, and value engines, culminating in Shaun's lethal board state and victory.
