Gameplay Summary

The game started with a high-powered multiplayer setup involving Grenzo, Dungeon Warden with a creature-heavy build and a Doomsday combo, Slicer, Hired Muscle aiming to apply fast pressure by passing the Slicer around and dealing quick damage, a midrange Thrasios and Tymna deck with combo potential, and a Hermit Druid deck equipped with Turbo and Planeswalker synergies to accelerate graveyard combos.

Early turns saw players developing their mana bases and setting up key pieces like Hermit Druid and slicer equipment to enable aggressive board presence.

Slicer quickly became a pivotal threat with equipment granting double strike and protection, forcing opponents into difficult combat decisions.

Meanwhile, Grenzo focused on grinding value and setting up his Doomsday combo, although his start was slower compared to the aggressive Slicer strategy.

Players carefully considered attack targets and blocking choices to avoid enabling combos or giving advantage to opponents, highlighting the tight interaction typical of cEDH games.

The Hermit Druid player eyed a potential explosive turn two win, showcasing the deck's speed with tutors and mana acceleration.

Throughout, disruption and strategic sequencing were key as players balanced offense with interaction to maintain board control and pressure.

The game exhibited a dynamic flow where fast clocks met combo setups, with win conditions centered on either quick creature damage from Slicer or intricate Doomsday and graveyard combos from Grenzo and Hermit Druid decks.
