Gameplay Summary
The game featured a high level of complexity and interaction among four competitive decks, including Slimefoot and Squee, Tayam, and two Tymna/Kraum builds.
Early turns involved typical mana ramp and card draw spells, with players establishing board presence and setting up combo pieces.
A key turning point occurred when a Toxic Deluge was cast, wiping the board and triggering a judge call due to a missed trigger on a Young Wolf, highlighting the game's intense timing and stack management.
Later, a complicated interaction involving Mayhem Devil, treasures, and Cyclonic Rift required a table discussion to resolve the correct order and outcome of triggers, illustrating the intricate stack interactions common in cEDH.
Despite the confusion, players managed to continue, focusing on leveraging their commanders and powerful artifacts like Dockside Extortionist to gain advantage.
The game progressed with aggressive swings and resource management, with Slimefoot and Squee attempting to generate value through saprolings and sacrifice triggers, while Tymna/Kraum decks pushed card advantage and tempo through efficient removal and combat damage.
