Omnath, Locus of Creation
Utilizes landfall triggers and treasure token generation to generate massive mana and card draw, enabling infinite combos and powerful finishers like Walking Ballista.

Focuses on Food Chain and Dockside Extortionist loops to draw through the deck and combo off, with backup combo lines involving Kiki-Jiki and other value engines.
Tymna the Weaver // Kodama of the East Tree
Combines multiple combo lines including Protean Hulk into Chain of Smog, infinite mana generation, and use of Walking Ballista for lethal damage.
Borborygmos and Fblthp
A midrange teamer deck that can win early or grind late, using Dockside Extortionist to generate treasure tokens and various infinite mana combos to close out games.

Summary
The game featured a high-powered cEDH multiplayer match with five aggressive and combo-centric decks vying for control. Early turns involved rapid mana acceleration and board setup, with players casting key mana rocks and tutors to assemble their combos. The Borborygmos and Fblthp deck quickly established board presence and card draw through its commander, while Omnath leveraged landfall triggers and treasure generation to fuel powerful combo sequences. A critical turning point occurred when Levi (Omnath) used Finale of Devastation to tutor Dockside Extortionist, creating a large treasure token generation setup. This was combined with flickering Omnath to draw through the deck and eventually cast a massive Walking Ballista that won the game by pinging opponents to death. The other players, including Etali and Tymna/Kodama pilots, attempted to assemble infinite mana or combo lines but were ultimately overwhelmed by the explosive finish from Omnath's combo.
