Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    Old Stickfingers' player used a recursive sacrifice loop involving Razaketh and multiple reanimation enchantments to generate massive mana and trigger Magecraft effects repeatedly, ending the game with Chain of Smog.

  • 2

    Ken’s use of Krark’s Thumb to choose coin flip outcomes allowed for efficient spell recasting and value generation despite poor land draws.

  • 3

    Baal's Phyrexian Revoker naming Tevesh was a key tempo play to slow down the opponent’s planeswalker activations and potential storm turns.

  • 4

    Cyclonic Rift was strategically cast on Notion Thief to prevent it from disrupting Ken’s hand disruption while keeping Ken in the game to check Leite’s advantage.

  • 5

    Players balanced aggressive ramp and early threats with important interaction spells to disrupt the fast combo decks, highlighting the delicate timing required in cEDH environments.

Summary

The game began with aggressive ramp and early board presence from all players, with Old Stickfingers setting up a reanimation combo while Krark the Thumbless and Birgi generated value through coin flips and free spells. Despite some disruption attempts like Mental Misstep and Cyclonic Rift targeting key pieces such as Notion Thief, the Old Stickfingers player successfully assembled a powerful reanimation loop involving Young Necromancer, Razaketh, and Witherbloom Apprentice. This loop was exploited to generate massive mana and repeatedly trigger Magecraft effects, culminating in a lethal Chain of Smog that wiped the table and ended the game quickly. The subsequent game saw Tevesh Szat and Kraum ramping efficiently with Grim Monolith and Sol Ring, while interaction pieces like Phyrexian Revoker named Tevesh to slow down his activation. Despite some disruption by opponents, Tevesh managed to resolve and generate Thrulls, gaining board presence and setting up for further plays. Throughout, strategic use of tutors, protection spells, and interaction shaped a volatile battlefield where quick combos and resource denial were key to victory.
