Summary

The game quickly developed into a high-speed cEDH storm match featuring four powerful decks. Early turns saw explosive plays with ramp spells like Jeweled Lotus and cards such as Renegade Tactics and Per G to set up fast mana bases and card draw. Players engaged in a series of wheel effects, digging through their libraries and discarding key cards to fuel their graveyards and combos. Notable interactions included a well-timed Underworld Breach enabling multiple recasts, and the use of cards like Mindbreak Trap and Swan Song to disrupt opponents' spells. The board state remained dynamic with players carefully navigating counterspells and protection spells such as Veil of Summer to push their storm engines forward. Ultimately, the game concluded with a classic storm combo involving Brain Freeze and Thassa's Oracle, where the player leveraged extensive card draw and graveyard resources to win in a single explosive turn.
