Gameplay Summary
The game featured a high-powered cEDH match between four decks led by Selvala, Terra, Y'shtola, and Ral.
Early turns saw players developing their board states with ramp and card draw, with Necropotent enabling significant card advantage for Terra and Windfall triggering intense hand refills.

However, interaction was fierce, with multiple counterspells and removal effects disrupting key plays.
The game climaxed as Selvala tried to resolve a Regal Force, only to be met with a Noxious Survival and Crop Rotation disruption, leading to a cascade of responses that culminated in a Demonic Consultation.
The final moments featured intense bluffing and counterspell use, ultimately resulting in a critical lethal sequence that ended the game abruptly.
