cEDH TV plays a casual EDH game!

The game featured four commanders with very different strategies, leading to a dynamic and varied gameplay experience.

The player piloting Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief focused on a combo-centric approach, leveraging infinite mana generation through interactions such as Hollowed Fountain and Homebreaker Horror to draw cards and assemble win conditions like Devastation or milling opponents with Drown in Dreams.

This deck relied heavily on chaining spells and manipulating the top of the library with cards like Possibility Storm and Scroll Rack to fuel their combos.

Another player with Svella, Ice Shaper aimed to establish a convoluted five-card infinite mana combo involving devotion, Team of Sabertooth, and Hyrax Horoscope, enabling infinite damage through artifact sacrifice via Makeshift Munitions.

Although the deck contained some weaker cards, the combo was potent and aimed for a decisive finish by dealing infinite damage to opponents.

Magar of the Magic Strings was piloted with a more experimental and less optimized deck, seeking to break through the power level of others but struggling to find impactful plays.

Lastly, Kenrith, the Returned King, took a control-oriented approach, playing a more midrange style with strong creatures and disruption to influence the board state. Early in the game, key plays involved setting up card advantage engines, such as Sylvan Library and Mana Crypt, which helped Ivy and others smooth their draws and accelerate their game plan.

Possibility Storm created unpredictable but occasionally powerful cascades, helping the simic player find their pieces.

Svella’s player aimed to assemble their combo quietly, while Ivy's opponent prioritized disrupting it, knowing that allowing the combo to resolve would end the game quickly.

The game’s turning points revolved around managing these combo attempts and controlling the board, with players trying to hold back threats like Possibility Storm or infinite combos until they could safely capitalize.

The game highlighted the tension between combo execution and interaction in a multiplayer setting, with each deck’s unique win condition shaping the flow of play.
