Gameplay Summary

The game featured a competitive cEDH multiplayer match with four players piloting aggressive and combo-oriented decks.

Early turns saw players developing their mana bases and deploying key early creatures and spells like Fairy Seer, Dwarven Scorcher, and Carpet of Flowers to ramp and set up card draws.

Yuriko's ninjutsu and multiple triggers began to apply early pressure, dealing incremental damage and triggering card advantage engines.

Several players cast spells like Ristic Study to filter cards, and interactions with equipment like Orishar Masters created board presence and tempo swings.

The game culminated when Ryan, piloting a combo deck utilizing Underworld Breach and brain freeze in combination with rituals and mana acceleration (including Jeweled Lotus and Lion's Eye Diamond), assembled an infinite mill loop.

This allowed him to mill out his entire deck and win on the spot with Fastbond and Oracle interactions, ending the game decisively.
