Gameplay Summary

The game features a dynamic multiplayer EDH match with four players piloting diverse decks centered around different commanders and strategies.

The early game focuses on ramp and board development, with Zacama aiming to build massive mana to enable an infinite combo involving Sanctum of Eternity and Shivan Gorge or Blind Obedience to cast Zacama repeatedly for a game-ending damage burst.

Vial Smasher paired with Sakashima works to create multiple copies of Vial Smasher through cloning, aiming to leverage the dice-roll damage triggers to randomly eliminate opponents.

Beledros Witherbloom’s deck emphasizes explosive land drops and doubling mana on key turns to fuel classic combos like Ob Nixilis the Fallen with Torment of Hellfire.

Meanwhile, Trynn and Silvar’s Mardu Aristocrats deck focuses on sacrificing creatures and finishing with Angel of Glory's Rise combos. Key moments include expansive ramping turns with multiple Ancient Tombs and Sylvan Library plays, which accelerate all players’ mana bases and card draw.

Lotus Cobra on the board provides critical mana acceleration, allowing Beledros Witherbloom’s player to execute powerful plays early on.

Vial Smasher's early damage triggers start to chip away at opponents' life totals, setting up a lethal dice-roll storm.

Zacama’s player carefully sets up for the infinite casting combo, searching out key pieces like Temple of the False God and Kodama's Reach to ensure land drops and mana generation.

The game is a tense race between combo executions and damage output, with each player jockeying for control and the timing of their win conditions.
