Gameplay Summary

The game featured a high-stakes cEDH multiplayer match where Niv-Mizzet Reborn piloted a cantrip-heavy, graveyard-filling combo deck aiming for an Oracle or Brain Freeze win.

Early on, the Niv-Mizzet player focused on mana acceleration and hand filtering, leveraging cards like Deathrite Shaman, Mystic Remora, and Dark Ritual effects to maintain board presence and disrupt opponents.

The opponents included two five-colored Sisay decks and a K'rrik mono-black combo player, each setting up their own powerful synergies.

The Sisay players ramped aggressively with cards like Mana Vault and Mana Crypt, while the K'rrik player aimed to combo out quickly with black mana generation and reanimation targets like Vilis the Forgotten One. Key turning points included the Niv-Mizzet pilot managing to disrupt the Sisay player's tutor searches by exiling their ability to search libraries during critical turns, as well as neutralizing early threats like Vilis with interaction spells.

The Niv-Mizzet player capitalized on stealing key legendary permanents using cards like Opposition Agent, thereby gaining control and preventing opponents from executing their combos smoothly.

Despite heavy pressure and multiple treasure token generators from Dockside Extortionist and other mana engines, the Niv-Mizzet pilot maintained card advantage and board interaction.

The game revolved around careful timing of counterspells, discard effects, and value creatures to delay opponents long enough to assemble the winning sequence.

Ultimately, the game revolved around stalling and disrupting until the Niv-Mizzet player could find their critical combo pieces and go off for the win condition.
