Summary

The game started with players developing their mana bases and early board presence, including creatures like Ornithopter, Sigil Pest, and Thousand-Faced Shadow. Early skirmishes involved Yuriko’s ninja-themed attacks with multiple ninjutsu triggers generating card draw and pressure. Players utilized cEDH staples such as Soul Ring and Lotus Petal to ramp into impactful spells. A key moment came when one player cast Underworld Breach, setting up potential storm and recursion plays. The game featured typical cEDH interactions with wheel effects, discard synergies, and force of negation counters, indicating a high-tension environment with resource denial and combo disruption. Midgame saw combat phases where Yuriko’s deck leveraged ninjutsu and multiple triggers to generate value, while Tymna & Kraum’s deck consistently drew cards and pressured opponents with creatures and discard. Flubs the Fool and Edward Kenway contributed with artifact creatures and treasure generation. The game’s pace was dictated by fast mana, efficient removal, and combo pieces, with players carefully holding interaction to protect their key spells. The eventual board state revolved around resource advantage through card draw engines and recurring threats, setting up for potential combo wins or incremental advantage through attrition.
