Summary

The game began with all four players developing their mana bases and deploying their commanders early, setting the stage for a highly interactive cEDH match. Jesper on Najeela focused on assembling combat steps and warrior tokens, aiming to leverage Najeela's ability to generate infinite attack phases. Garrett piloting Golos sought to draw massive card advantage via Ad Nauseam, aiming to combo out quickly. Ryan's Anje deck aimed to dig deeply into the deck to assemble the Worldgorger Dragon combo for a swift win, while Folger on Kenrith played a disruptive control style, using Kenrith's versatile abilities to maintain board presence and pressure opponents. Early skirmishes involved a lot of hand disruption and counterspells, with Jesper successfully using Force of Will to protect his play and disrupt Ryan's attempts to establish the combo with Animate Dead and Worldgorger Dragon. Garrett successfully resolved an Ad Nauseam, revealing a plethora of mana acceleration and combo pieces, enabling him to establish a strong board presence. Folger used Kenrith aggressively in combat, utilizing his +1/+1 counters and trample and haste granting abilities to push through damage. Jesper continued to apply pressure with Najeela and token warriors, while also employing hate cards like Assassin's Trophy and Rest in Peace to hinder graveyard strategies. The game showcased a dynamic interplay of combo assembly, disruption, and combat tactics among four powerful commanders vying for control.
