Summary

The game started with all players setting up their mana bases and early board presence, with Tasha the Witch Queen player quickly establishing card draw and resource advantage through spells like Ice-Fang Coatl and mana acceleration. Magda, Brazen Outlaw focused on dwarves and treasure generation, steadily building an aggressive board state. Kodama of the East Tree player struggled somewhat with land draws but managed to develop some ramp and utility. Birgi, God of Storytelling employed discard and treasure synergies, while Sakashima of a Thousand Faces enabled intricate interactions with copy effects and blinking abilities. A pivotal turning point came when Tasha's player executed a complex Doomsday pile combo, leveraging Tasha's abilities to draw cards and exile spells, then using Displacer Kitten to blink key permanents, generating demons and repeatedly casting Treasure-producing spells like Strike It Rich. This sequence culminated in casting a Fastest Oracle reanimation with split second protection, which sealed the game by drawing out the remaining deck and winning off that advantage. The no-land-win scenario highlighted the deck's resilience and intricate combo lines, demonstrating high-level cEDH gameplay and synergy exploitation.
