Summary

The game features four competitive EDH decks with a 5-color theme, showcasing powerful commanders including Progenitus, Sisay, and the Tymna/Thrasios partner combo. Early turns focus heavily on ramp and mana acceleration, with players deploying pivotal mana artifacts like Mox Diamond and Lotus Petal, as well as mana dorks such as Noble Hierarch. The game quickly develops into a complex interaction of resource management and card advantage. The Tymna/Thrasios decks aim to assemble infinite combos involving Devoted Druid and Finale of Devastation to close out the game, while Sisay leverages toolbox synergies and combos like Savra-Aminatou to control the board and win. Progenitus’s deck employs high-impact spells like Fist of Suns and potentially Breach or Finale for explosive plays, threatening to dominate once the necessary pieces are assembled.

The game’s tension builds as players seek to balance disruption with combo execution, with the Tymna/Thrasios players carefully setting up infinite mana and card draws. Meanwhile, Sisay and Progenitus pilots maintain pressure through removal and board presence, setting the stage for a potential decisive board wipe or combo finish. The interplay of card advantage engines and combo triggers demonstrates the high-level competitive nature of 5-color cEDH.
