Gameplay Summary
The game features a high-powered cEDH multiplayer match with four players piloting fast combo decks centered around Ad Nauseam and Underworld Breach lines.
Early gameplay quickly escalates as players deploy mana acceleration artifacts like Mana Vault, Mox Opal, and Grim Monolith to ramp into explosive turns.
DeQuan's Ikra Shidiqi and Bruse Tarl deck leverages life gain synergies alongside Ad Nauseam to fuel a massive storm sequence, culminating in a looped Chain of Smog interaction with Witherbloom Apprentice that drains opponents to zero, securing a swift victory.
The other players, including a Rograkh/Silas Turbo Ad Nauseam and two Tymna/Kraum Blue Farm decks, attempt to assemble their combos through efficient tutoring and disruption but are ultimately outpaced by the aggressive Ad Nauseam combo.
