Summary

The game featured a high-powered cEDH multiplayer match with The Gitrog Monster, Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle, Anje Falkenrath, and the Tymna/Jessica turbo Ad Nauseam deck piloted by Mike. Early turns saw development of mana and board presence, with Noah on Gitrog establishing a strong land-based engine using lands like Forbidden Orchard and Bazaar of Baghdad to draw cards and set up his discard-based infinite combos. Charles on Teshar played a disruptive Death and Taxes style, using Urza's Saga and other equipment to control the board and generate value from artifact synergies. Mike's Tymna/Jessica deck quickly ramped into Ad Nauseam, drawing a massive hand and setting up the combo pieces including Dockside Extortionist and Cloudstone Curio to produce infinite mana and win conditions. Ryan on Anje used a madness-centric deck to aggressively filter cards and assemble combos but was somewhat overshadowed by the raw speed and power of Mike's deck. A pivotal moment occurred when Mike resolved a huge Peer into the Abyss, drawing over 30 cards and setting up lethal plays with Ad Nauseam and combo enablers like Dockside Extortionist and Dark Ritual. Despite some disruption from silence and removal spells, Mike managed to establish the infinite mana combo with Cloudstone Curio and Underworld Breach, eventually winning the game. Noah's Gitrog Monster was active but was hindered by targeted disruption and silence effects, while Charles' Teshar deck provided steady pressure and control but could not stop the overwhelming combo finish. The game showcased multiple combo archetypes competing in a no-blue meta, highlighting the interactions between discard, artifact recursion, and storm-style combo decks.
