Gameplay Summary
The game featured a high-powered cEDH pod with four distinct commanders, each pursuing their unique strategies.
Early turns involved ramping mana and setting up artifact synergies, with Urza leveraging mana rocks like Mox Diamond, Silver Key, and Cloud Key to generate significant artifact mana.
Kefka established his control and chaos presence, discarding cards to maximize his draw engine.
Rocco aimed to pressure the table through Food Chain combos and mana acceleration, while Daretti focused on artifact recursion and grind with cards like Scrap Troller and Grinding Station.
