Deck & Commander Strategies
Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy
Ramp aggressively by leveraging mana acceleration from creatures and artifacts to cast large spells quickly. The deck aims to assemble infinite mana combos and powerful green finishers like Finale of Devastation to close out the game.
Kenrith, the Returned King
Utilize flexible abilities and powerful interaction to control the board state while ramping mana. Kenrith can support combo setups and disrupt opponents but often relies on stabilizing the game until a winning line can be established.
Slicer, Hired Muscle
Generate storm tokens and apply early pressure through aggressive, fast mana and repeated combat damage. The deck uses token generation and damage distribution to weaken multiple opponents without focusing on a single target.

Gameplay Summary
The game featured a high-powered cEDH multiplayer match with two Kinnan decks, a Kenrith deck, and a Slicer deck.
Early turns involved setting up mana acceleration and ramping, with players deploying key mana rocks like Mox Diamond and Basalt Monolith, and playing early creatures such as Llanowar Elves and Finhorn Elfin.
Slicer generated early pressure with aggressive plays and token generation.
A notable moment came when one Kinnan player assembled an infinite mana combo using Kenon and Treasure Vault, producing infinite treasures and tapping abilities to generate massive mana.
This enabled them to cast Thassa's Oracle and Finale of Devastation, drawing their entire deck, pumping creatures to massive power, and swinging for lethal damage.
Kenrith tried to stabilize with powerful cards but was ultimately overwhelmed by the explosive Kinnan combo.
The game ended with a clean finish after a board state wipe facilitated by bounce effects, clearing a key player's permanents and allowing a subsequent lethal attack.
