Gameplay Summary

The game started with all players developing their mana bases and setting up early plays, with typical cEDH pacing and some interaction around mana production and resource denial.

Rograkh/Thrasios aimed to leverage big mana and value plays with cards like Candelabra of Tawnos and Tooth and Nail, while Kinnan sought to generate massive mana and bring out large threats for free.

Derevi focused on value and board control through synergy and multiple loops, and Iron Man brought a combo-centric approach relying on artifact recursion and scrapper loops. Early turns included strategic land fetches and minor board presence establishment, with players wary of each other's potential combos and interactions.

Key moments involved the use of Candelabra to untap lands and ramp, Tooth and Nail to tutor powerful creatures, and Veil of Summer to protect against counterspells and disruption.

The game saw tension build as mana production ramped significantly for Kinnan and Rograkh/Thrasios, setting the stage for explosive plays.

Ultimately, the game revolved around managing resources, sequencing combo pieces effectively, and timing board wipes or protective spells to maintain advantage.

While the transcript cuts off before a definitive win, the gameplay showcased the high-speed, intricate resource management and combo execution typical of cEDH.
