Gameplay Summary
The game begins with players developing their boards and ramping mana, with early plays including Urza creating construct tokens and Tivit casting value artifacts.
Etali attempts an explosive mana ramp with Seething Song but is promptly countered by Mindbreak Trap, slowing his momentum.
As the game progresses, Dihada uses artifact recursion and discard to disrupt opponents, while Urza capitalizes on artifact synergies and spells like Brainstorm to maintain card advantage.
A key turning point occurs when Dihada reanimates Saw It In Half to remove a threat and uses March of the Swirling Mist to protect a powerful creature, showing the deck's resilience and toolbox nature.
Towards the end, Tivit sets up a powerful infinite turn combo by attacking with his commander and sacrificing five artifacts to take extra turns, aiming for a win via commander damage or combo finishes such as casting Thassa's Oracle from the deck.
Despite some suboptimal tutoring choices early on, the game showcases each deck's strengths and cEDH-level interaction, culminating in Tivit's loop as the decisive win condition.
