Summary

The game started with typical mana development and early board presence from all players, with several casting artifact creatures and ramp spells. Tymna and Kraum utilized their blue farm strategy to establish early board control, while Yuriko and Kinnan developed their respective aggressive and combo-centric boards. Flubs, initially seeming weaker, ramped into a powerful artifact and graveyard synergy, leveraging cards like Lion's Eye Diamond and Gamble to generate massive card advantage and storm triggers. A pivotal moment occurred when Flubs executed a complex sequence involving a flubs trigger, Ruth triggers, and a Gamble that set off a storm of card draws and graveyard interactions. Despite some missteps, Flubs managed to assemble a winning combo involving Faithless Looting, Wheel of Fortune effects, and Breach/Brain Freeze, quickly ending the game before the other players could react. This unexpected win from Flubs highlighted the deck’s explosive potential in cEDH settings.
