Gameplay Summary

The game featured a fast-paced, high-powered multiplayer EDH match with five commanders competing for dominance.

Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy quickly ramped up mana with powerful creatures and aimed for an infinite mana combo to execute a game-ending Finale of Devastation.

Thrasios, Triton Hero paired with Bruse Tarl pursued similar infinite mana synergies, focusing on smooth ramp and interaction to disrupt opponents.

Jodah, the Unifier employed a five-color control and value strategy, attempting to stabilize with powerful spells and creatures while controlling the board.

Shorikai, Genesis Engine leveraged artifact synergies and mana acceleration but struggled to fully develop its engine before the game ended.

The game concluded abruptly around turn three when Kinnan successfully assembled infinite mana and cast Finale of Devastation, wiping the board and winning the game in one swift move due to the opponents' lack of interaction at that moment.
