Summary

The game featured four distinct budget cEDH decks led by Niv-Mizzet, Parun; Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow; Naru Meha, Master Wizard; and Tasigur, the Golden Fang. Early turns were marked by aggressive board development and interaction, with Yuriko's pilot consistently applying pressure through repeated ninja strikes and card advantage, leveraging ninjutsu to maximize damage and card draws. The game saw multiple instances of counterspells and hand disruption, as players sought to maintain control and prevent opponents from assembling combos. Notably, the Naru Meha deck aimed to establish a flicker-based infinite loop combo, while Tasigur focused on control and graveyard recursion to stabilize and eventually combo off. Niv-Mizzet's player played a control-oriented game plan, ramping into the commander and using its draw and ping effect to chip away at opponents while maintaining a steady flow of answers to threats. The turning points included Yuriko's multiple ninja attacks triggering life loss and card advantage, and Tasigur's ability to recur interaction to hinder opponents. The game progressed with heavy interaction and incremental damage, culminating in Yuriko's aggressive ninja strikes and Naru Meha's flicker combo becoming central threats, though the final winner was not explicitly shown in the segment.
