Gameplay Summary

The game featured a competitive four-player cEDH match with Sisay, Weatherlight Captain; Zur the Enchanter; Winota, Joiner of Forces; and The Locust God.

Early turns saw aggressive board development, with Winota quickly deploying creatures to leverage her ability to cheat in non-human attackers, while Sisay focused on proactive tutoring and control elements like Kataki, War's Wage to hinder artifact strategies.

Zur played a midrange Doomsday build, using enchantments and card draw engines to assemble a winning Doomsday pile.

Locust God aimed to generate advantage through repeated draws and hasty insect tokens, though it struggled under pressure from Sisay's hate cards.

A critical turning point occurred when Sisay tutored out key hate pieces and disrupted Locust God's plans, while Winota flooded the board with attackers, putting pressure on opponents.

Zur ultimately found an opening to resolve a Doomsday and combo off, capitalizing on opponents being tapped out or locked down from Sisay's stax effects and Winota's aggressive plays.

Despite strong board presence and interaction from all players, Zur's ability to execute the Doomsday pile secured the victory.
