Summary

The game started with players establishing their mana bases and early board presence, including ramp and disruption elements like Birds of Paradise, Ancient Tomb, and various mana rocks. Early combat attempts and removal shaped the initial board state, with players using efficient spells such as Vexing Bubble and Siege Smash to control opposing threats. A key moment was when Natural Order was cast to cheat in a powerful creature, but it was immediately countered or disrupted, slowing down a major combo attempt. Throughout the midgame, players leveraged card draw spells like Rhystic Study and Crosis triggers to maintain card advantage, while also managing life totals carefully due to aggressive swings and life payment costs for certain spells. Later in the game, Helm of the Host equipped on Godo created a significant threat by making tapped copies and forcing opponents to deal with multiple attackers. The interaction between Thalia and The Gitrog Monster slowed down some spells by making lands enter tapped. Wishclaw Talisman changed hands multiple times, enabling tutoring and combo assembly attempts. Players used a combination of stax effects, targeted removal, and disruption creatures like Opposition Agent and Fairy Mastermind to interfere with their opponents' plans. The game featured high interaction with multiple triggers on the stack and shifting board control, emphasizing the importance of timing and resource management in cEDH gameplay.
