Deck Strategies

  • Godo, Bandit Warlord

    Godo, Bandit Warlord

    A turbo combo deck focused on generating large amounts of mana quickly, searching for and equipping Helm of the Host on Godo to generate infinite combat steps and win the game instantaneously.

  • Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator Vial Smasher the Fierce

    Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator & Vial Smasher the Fierce

    A Grixis Ad Nauseam Underworld Breach combo deck that aims to use Malcolm as a one-card win condition with Glen Elendra Archmage and leverage discard and draw interactions to combo out.

  • Winota, Joiner of Forces

    Winota, Joiner of Forces

    A proactive, aggressive deck that looks to lock down the board with disruptive creatures and win through heavy combat damage using Winota’s ability to cheat in powerful attackers.

  • Najeela, the Blade-Blossom

    Najeela, the Blade-Blossom

    A proactive combo deck aiming to go infinite with Najeela’s ability combined with Underworld Breach and other combos to generate infinite combat steps or damage.

Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    Playing Godo last in turn order and keeping a seven-card hand with a tap land strongly signals a combo attempt, as seen with the infinite combat steps combo on turn two.

  • 2

    The interaction of sacking treasure tokens generated by Dockside Extortionist was crucial in generating the mana needed for Godo’s combo, showcasing the importance of resource management in cEDH.

  • 3

    Early disruption and defensive plays like casting Esper Sentinel and Skullclamp are valuable but can be overwhelmed by ultra-fast combos in cEDH.

  • 4

    Mana acceleration and artifact ramp enable explosive early plays that can end games quickly, emphasizing the necessity of fast kill potential and quick disruption in competitive EDH.

Summary

The game featured an explosive early start from GTO 99 piloting Godo, Bandit Warlord. Utilizing artifacts like Dockside Extortionist and mana acceleration from Lotus Pedal and Ancient Tomb, GTO 99 quickly assembled the necessary resources to cast Godo and attach Helm of the Host by turn two. This enabled an infinite combat steps combo, swiftly ending the game before other players could develop their board states. Scott's Vial Smasher and Malcolm deck aimed to leverage Ad Nauseam and Underworld Breach combos but was shut down early. Lua’s Winota deck and Mod’s Najeela deck showed proactive, combat-focused strategies but were unable to execute due to the fast pace and overwhelming combo from Godo. Key moments included the interaction around Dockside Extortionist treasure tokens and the fast acquisition of equipment for Godo, which was critical for the infinite combat combo. The game emphasized the importance of early disruption and mana acceleration in cEDH. Despite the aggressive start, players demonstrated their deck's potential with notable plays such as casting Esper Sentinel and Skullclamp for early defense and card draw, but these were overshadowed by the swift Godo combo finish.
