Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator
Tempo and value deck leveraging treasure generation and card draw through combat damage and enchantments to out-resource opponents.

Gameplay Summary
The game started with each player establishing their early mana base and setting up their initial strategies.
Blue Farm (Zayn) focused on a classic blue control and card draw plan, while Malcolm and Kediss employed a more tempo and value-oriented build with treasure generation and incremental advantages.
Rograkh (Frog) played an aggressive fast deck with disruption, and Selvala (the analyst) piloted a mono-green stompy deck aiming to generate infinite mana and overwhelming board presence. A pivotal moment came when Selvala assembled a combo involving Scare Ranger and Garruk Primal Hunter to generate infinite mana and draw a significant number of cards.
From there, Selvala cast a Staff of Domination to gain infinite life, effectively locking down the game.
Meanwhile, Rograkh used targeted removal and disruption like Lightning Bolt and Pyroblast to delay opponents' key plays.
Malcolm leveraged Curiosity to draw and generate treasures, but was ultimately overwhelmed by the combo finish.
The game ended with Selvala's combo securing victory through infinite mana and life gain, demonstrating the power of a well-timed combo in cEDH.
