Gameplay Summary
The cEDH game featured a highly interactive and fast-paced match among competitive decks led by commanders such as Ob Nixilis, Sisay, Etali, and Rograkh/Thrasios.
Early turns saw players establishing mana bases and deploying key creatures like Ragavan and Implicit Recruiter, with multiple players leveraging powerful draw spells such as Wheel of Fortune to refill hands and maintain resources.

The game demonstrated typical cEDH dynamics of efficient resource management and timely disruption, culminating in a swift end once a player assembled a strong mana and board advantage.
