Gameplay Summary

The game featured a competitive four-player cEDH match with Godo, Bandit Warlord; Dihada, Binder of Wills; Magda, Brazen Outlaw; and Helga, Skittish Seer.

Early turns involved typical mana ramp and setup, with players deploying mana rocks like Gemstone Mine, Lotus Petal, and Ancient Tomb, alongside early creatures and key enchantments such as Animate Dead.

The board state quickly became complex with multiple treasure tokens being generated and powerful utility creatures entering the battlefield.

A significant turning point occurred when a player used a combination of treasure generation and token abilities to trigger multiple damage and sacrifice effects, effectively winning the game on the stack in a surprising and rare way.

This unexpected finish highlighted the intricate interactions possible in cEDH and the importance of timing and stack manipulation.
