Summary

The game featured a highly competitive cEDH match with four players piloting powerful partner commanders and combo-centric decks. The early game saw players establishing their mana bases aggressively with fetch lands, mana crypts, and various mana acceleration artifacts. Jrock on Tymna/Kraum applied consistent pressure with Timna's combat damage triggers drawing cards and setting up tutors, while Eli on Kenrith focused on assembling infinite mana combos quickly. FreedomWaffle on Dargo/Thrasios played a combo midrange deck that leveraged layered combos and a grind plan supported by Seedborn Muse. Levi piloted Bruse/Thrasios aiming for infinite mana and pumping Thrasios to close out the game. A pivotal moment occurred when FreedomWaffle executed a series of intricate loops involving Eternal Witness, Snapcaster Mage, and Gaia's Cradle to generate infinite mana. This allowed him to cast a Lotus Pedal and use flicker effects to repeatedly cast Lightning Bolt against opponents, systematically removing threats and finishing the game decisively. Prior to this, Waffle demonstrated a powerful overloaded Cyclonic Rift and used cards like Finale of Devastation and Spellseeker to tutor key spells and clear the board. The game showcased the typical high-speed, combo-driven interactions of cEDH, with multiple players using tutors, counterspells, and recursion to stay alive until they could assemble their winning sequences.
