Gameplay Summary

The game featured a fast-paced cEDH environment with four players piloting powerful and synergistic decks.

Zack, playing Tymna the Weaver and Kraum Ludevic's Opus, demonstrated explosive opening plays, including a turn one Ad Nauseam that led to an immediate win by comboing Thassa's Oracle and Tainted Pact to exile his library and win on the spot.

This showcased the deck's ability to quickly generate mana and dig through the deck for a winning line.

Following this, the group restarted with new hands and strategies, where Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign, piloted by Shawn, attempted to leverage her ability to manipulate top-deck draws while other players tried to assemble their combos or disrupt opponents.

Zack continued to assert dominance with aggressive use of Dockside Extortionist and Timetwister to generate treasure tokens and shuffle hands, then again winning through a similar Thassa's Oracle and Demonic Consultation combo.

The game highlighted the typical cEDH tension between fast combo execution and interaction, with multiple counterspells and discard effects in play, but ultimately the deck piloted by Zack secured victories by assembling a near-instant combo kill consistently.
