Summary

The game started with players establishing their early boards, with one player utilizing ramp and mana rocks while another focused on a Jeska and Sidar pairing with aggressive red-based strategies. Initial turns saw the deployment of key utility creatures and mana accelerants such as Talisman, Priest of Titania, and Cloudstone Curio. One notable moment was the casting of Jeweled Lotus and the cycling of lands to dig deeper into the deck, setting up for a powerful mid-game. As the game progressed, Birgi's player upgraded their board presence by transforming Birgi into an elk, increasing pressure on opponents. The Tevesh Szat and Thrasios deck focused on reanimator and artifact synergy, culminating in a combo involving Imperial Recruiter and Dockside Extortionist to generate infinite mana. This infinite mana enabled a decisive combo finish with Jeska, Thrice Reborn, using mana to ping opponents out of the game. The game ended with a clean combo resolution after careful resource buildup and disruption from other players, highlighting the power level typical of cEDH pods.
