Gameplay Summary

The game began with players setting up their mana bases and ramping quickly, utilizing cards like Mox Opal, Dark Ritual, and Lotus Petal to accelerate their early plays.

One player successfully entombed Hoarding Broodlord into their graveyard, setting up a powerful graveyard recursion strategy.

The board state escalated as players deployed various tutors, ramp artifacts, and interaction spells like Imperial Seal and Sensei's Top to maintain card advantage and pressure.

A pivotal moment occurred when one player reanimated a key threat with no counterplay available, allowing them to establish significant board presence and force others to respond defensively. Later, a combo involving Hazel's Brew Master and Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker was executed, generating an infinite loop that produced token creatures and ended the game decisively.

Despite some missteps and missed triggers, the game showcased tight sequencing and explosive cEDH plays, with players leveraging graveyard recursion, fast mana, and combo pieces to outpace opponents.

The lethal combo finish highlighted the importance of interaction and timely responses in high-powered multiplayer Commander matches.
