Summary

The game began with players establishing their mana bases and early ramp, featuring multiple mana rocks like Lotus Petal, Mox Opal, and Talisman of Progress to accelerate their plays. Early turns were focused on setting up resources and minor interactions, with some players fetching lands and playing utility lands such as Hallowed Fountain and Fire Garden. A notable early interaction involved casting Dark Ritual and Wishclaw Talisman, setting up for tutoring key cards. The group carefully considered targeting for Wishclaw, debating its risks and benefits given the turn order and opponents' potential threats. Midgame saw Breya, Etherium Shaper generating multiple Thopter tokens and leveraging her abilities to maintain board presence. There were discussions around the threat of Dark Side, a card capable of generating substantial Treasure tokens, influencing players' decisions about handing off key artifacts. Strategic plays included sacrificing artifacts for incremental life gain and card advantage, and use of tutors to find impactful spells. The presence of Norc Master added layers of complexity, with triggers that could potentially disrupt opponents or bolster the controller’s position. Throughout, players weighed the risks of aggressive plays like wheels and disruption against maintaining tempo and resources, highlighting the tight competitive tension typical of cEDH games.
