Gameplay Summary

The first game featured a competitive four-player cEDH match with Selvala, Kinnan, Vivi Ornitier, and Kambal as commanders.

Early turns focused on ramp and setting up board presence, with players casting mana acceleration spells like Soul Ring and deploying key creatures such as Hullbreaker Horror and Kenan to generate value.

The game saw multiple spells and interactions involving counterspells like Force of Will and Snapback, as well as strategic plays around Vivy triggers and bounce effects.

A pivotal moment occurred when Hullbreaker Horror was used to repeatedly bounce mana rocks, generating infinite triggers and damage to close out the game quickly.

After this decisive win, the players agreed to switch decks for a second game.

The second game began with similarly fast-paced mana development using fetchlands, Mox Diamond, and Ancient Tomb, setting the stage for another intense cEDH battle.
