Gameplay Insights
- 1
Using Enlightened Tutor early to fetch Mystic Remora helped establish early card advantage and taxing effects on opponents.

The sequence involving casting Underworld Breach followed by Days and then Offer You Can't Refuse to counter one's own spell is a clever way to generate treasures and protect the combo from disruption.

Players wisely used fetch lands and mana rocks to optimize mana base and speed up critical combo turn sequences.

Interactive spells like Mindbreak Trap and Flusterstorm were held in reserve to counter key spells, highlighting the high level of strategic counterplay typical in cEDH games.

The use of Rograkh's ability and artifact recursion from Goblin Welder set up multiple avenues for combo disruption and recovery, showcasing the importance of redundancy in high-speed games.

The combination of delirium and recursion from Underworld Breach, paired with the ability to cast spells from the graveyard, enabled him to chain spells efficiently.
