Gameplay Summary
The game featured a four-player cEDH multiplayer match with Magda, Brazen Outlaw; Tayam, Luminous Enigma; Cormela, Glamour Thief; and Narset, Enlightened Exile as commanders.
Early game actions involved fast mana acceleration, discard spells, and probing opponents' hands to gather information.
Magda's player focused on generating Treasures and dwarf synergies to build board presence, while others developed their board states through creatures and various combo-enabling pieces. Key turning points included a Cyclonic Rift overload by Magda's pilot that wiped the board and set up lethal damage in the upkeep, and a complex sequence involving wheel effects, multiple card draws, and tutoring plays that allowed a player to assemble critical combo pieces.
Despite attempts at disruption, the game progressed with players leveraging artifact synergies, mana dorks, and card draw engines.
Eventually, one player managed to leverage a combo or overwhelming board state, supported by mana acceleration and counterspells, to secure the win.
