Gameplay Summary
The game featured a highly competitive and fast-paced cEDH multiplayer match with four players piloting distinct decks centered around combo and storm strategies.
Early turns saw aggressive setup plays, including the casting of Goblin Recruiter to fetch key combo pieces like Mod Fanatic, Kiki-Jiki, and Conspicuous Snoop for the Turbo Snoop deck.
Players utilized wheel effects such as Time Twister and Wheel of Fortune variants to refresh hands and fuel their combos.
Notably, multiple Ad Nauseam combos were attempted, with Amy's Rograkh and Ikra deck executing a powerful Ad Nauseam line to draw a massive number of cards and assemble an infinite damage loop involving Conspicuous Snoop and other creatures.
Despite some overextension leading to Amy losing life from the combo, she ultimately secured the win through the infinite damage generated by her combo pieces.
The game also featured interaction with key spells like Ristic Study, Force of Will, and disruptive counters, highlighting the tension typical of high-level cEDH gameplay.
The Kodama Sakashima deck aimed to generate infinite damage loops with Sunscorch Desert and storm triggers, while the Malcolm and Vial Smasher deck sought infinite damage through Buccaneer synergies, and the Tevesh and Kraum deck used wheel synergy and Notion Thief to disrupt opponents' plans.
The critical turning point was Amy's successful Ad Nauseam and combo completion, which ended the game amid a flurry of counterplay and resource management.
