Summary

The game featured a high-level cEDH multiplayer match involving four competitive decks: Food Chain Slivers, Thrasios/Tymna Flash Hulk, Heliod Sun-Crowned, and an Oracle-based combo deck. Early turns saw typical ramp and setup plays, including mana crypt drops, mana acceleration, and disruption with cards like Rest in Peace and Deathrite Shaman. The Flash Hulk deck attempted to assemble its combo quickly but faltered due to disruption and an unsuccessful early Flash attempt. Meanwhile, the Oracle deck focused on setting up a win with Thassa's Oracle combined with Demonic Consultation and Angel's Grace, leveraging draws and library manipulation to kill on the spot. Although the Oracle deck did not have a smooth start in the first game, it eventually executed a flawless Demonic Consultation into a Thassa's Oracle trigger that exiled its entire library and secured the win. The Heliod and Food Chain decks played more controlling roles, attempting to disrupt and apply pressure but ultimately were outpaced by the Oracle-based combo finish.
