Early turns involve some typical cEDH interactions like casting Mox Diamonds and exploring synergies with artifact mana and clue tokens generated by Will and Lucas' clues mechanic.
Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) makes an aggressive early play by flashing in Orcish Bow Master and attempting to shoot key creatures, disrupting opponents' card advantage and tempo.

Thrasios leverages ramp and utility creatures like Orcish Bow Master to control the board and disrupt opponents, while also trying to protect key cards like Necropotence with spells such as Deflecting Swat. A pivotal moment occurs when a complex stack of counterspells and copies involving Force of Negation and Flare of Duplication negates the protection attempt on Necropotence, resulting in its exile and resetting some momentum.
Despite this, Green Goblin's aggressive early plays maintain pressure, forcing opponents to reconsider their strategies.
The game is marked by tense interactions over card advantage, with players leveraging discard, counterspells, and removal to stay alive.
