Gameplay Summary

The game began with typical cEDH fast mana and land drops, featuring early plays like Land Tax, Exploration, and various fetch lands fueling strong mana bases.

The players quickly established their board states with ramp creatures and utility lands, aiming to set up combos and control elements.

A key moment occurred when Lumra, Bellow of the Woods entered the battlefield and triggered a sequence involving Zuran Orb and life gain to stabilize and push a critical board presence. Throughout the midgame, players executed several synergistic plays, such as copying powerful creatures with Hasheton's ability, generating insect tokens via The Gitrog Monster's interactions, and using Grim Monolith and other mana artifacts for explosive mana acceleration.

One notable interaction included the creation of a token copy of an Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, which significantly tilted the board state.

The game showed heavy use of graveyard recursion, discard synergies, and mana manipulation to maintain tempo.

Despite aggressive plays, players were cautious with their resources, waiting for the opportune moment to finalize their win conditions, highlighting the delicate balance between board presence and interaction in cEDH.
