Summary

The game started with a typical resource development phase, where players established mana bases and cast early creatures, setting the stage for their respective strategies. Early plays included ramp spells, mana rocks, and commanders entering the battlefield, with some players aggressively developing their boards while others prepared combo pieces. A key turning point occurred when one player resolved Underworld Breach alongside other graveyard interaction spells, enabling a powerful recursion and combo potential. The action escalated as players deployed threatening creatures and combo enablers, with some employing disruption spells like Lightning Bolt and Force of Negation to maintain control. The game reached its climax when one player successfully executed a mill and recursion loop involving Stitcher Supplier and Call in the Bloodline, milling their entire library and casting Thassa's Oracle, achieving a classic self-mill win condition. This sequence effectively ended the game, demonstrating the power of graveyard recursion and combo synergy in cEDH. Throughout the game, players balanced aggression, disruption, and combo assembly, with the final victory hinging on precise sequencing and resource management.
