Summary
The game began with each player setting up their mana base and early plays, with Malcolm and Kediss focusing on aggressive pirate synergy, Kenrith leveraging efficient cEDH staples, and Tymna paired with Kraum aiming for midrange value and card advantage. Stella Lee, Wild Card, piloted by Guy, was a storm-oriented deck relying on casting multiple spells per turn to leverage her unique abilities. Early turns featured standard development such as mana acceleration, card draw, and minor combat damage exchanges. A key turning point occurred when Stella's player established a loop involving Cerulean Wisps and the commander’s copy ability, allowing them to repeatedly untap and draw their entire deck rapidly. This combo enabled a decisive storm finish as Stella could chain spells to either draw out the deck or deal lethal damage with Wicked Roll tokens. Despite some missed triggers early on, the deck’s synergy and explosive potential were demonstrated clearly, ending the game swiftly once the combo was assembled.
