Gameplay Summary
The game began with all players setting up their mana bases and early interaction pieces cautiously.
K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth showcased a powerful early start leveraging tutors like Demonic Tutor and Entomb to set up combo pieces, including Asmodius the Archfiend in the graveyard, aiming for a reanimation or combo kill.
Narset, Enlightened Master and Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy developed their boards with ramp and interaction, while Brallin and Shabraz focused on spell-based synergy and disruption.
Early on, Necrotic Ooze was briefly cast but countered, illustrating the high tension and interaction level at the table. A major turning point came when K'rrik started generating immense card advantage and board presence, but the game shifted dramatically after a Wheel of Fortune effect reset hands, disrupting several players' setups, particularly K'rrik's.
This allowed Kinnan to capitalize on the slowed game state, ramping up and positioning for a mid-game surge.
Eventually, lethal damage was dealt through combat and spell sequences involving the commanders Brallin and Shabraz, with the game concluding after a series of final knockouts on turn four.
The game showcased high-speed cEDH play with heavy emphasis on tutors, interaction, and lethal commander damage.
