Deck & Commander Strategies
Toluz, Clever Conductor
Toluz aims to assemble a storm combo primarily using Necropotence or Ad Nauseam to draw through the deck and cast a lethal storm sequence, often protected by instant-speed interaction like Bone Miser and Shallow Grave.
Minsc, Beloved Ranger
Minsc focuses on a creature combo utilizing tokens generated by Minsc's ability combined with card advantage from creatures like Arena Rector and synergy with planeswalkers to overwhelm opponents.
Najeela, the Blade-Blossom
Najeela leverages aggressive combat steps and multiple combat phases to generate value and pressure opponents quickly, aiming to close out games through combat damage and warrior tribal synergies.
Sisay, Weatherlight Captain
Sisay uses a toolbox approach, tutoring key legendary creatures to generate value and control the board, while using exalted and mana dorks to facilitate attacks and maintain board presence.

Gameplay Summary
The game featured a tense and competitive matchup between Toluz, Clever Conductor, Minsc, Beloved Ranger, Najeela, the Blade-Blossom, and Sisay, Weatherlight Captain.
Early turns saw players developing their board states cautiously, with Sisay setting up mana dorks and tutors, Najeela aiming to establish an aggressive combat presence, and Toluz focusing on assembling Necropotence or Ad Nauseam to storm off.
Deafening Silence and Cabal Cabal stax effects were deployed to disrupt Toluz's combo plans, but the multiplayer nature of the game limited their impact.
Key plays included Sisay tutoring for Dean of the Vine to handle threats, as well as Minsc creating tokens to apply pressure.
Toluz attempted to build card advantage and interaction with spells like Demonic Tutor and Dark Ritual, but was ultimately unable to overcome the disruption and was eliminated via Demonic Consultation, which exiled their library before Toluz could execute the combo.
The game highlighted the delicate balance of speed, disruption, and board presence necessary to win in cEDH multiplayer environments.
