Gameplay Summary
The game began with fast mana acceleration and early plays setting each player's tempo.
Multiple players mulliganed aggressively, seeking quick access to key cards.
The Dargo/Tevesh deck leveraged sacrifice synergies, using Dargo to fuel an Alter of Dementia to mill opponents, although this was met with timely disruption.
Kinnan generated significant mana advantage and aimed for infinite combos involving mana rocks and creatures, steadily building up to a large mana pool and combo potential.
The Dargo/Tymna deck focused on quick value generation and aggressive attacks, leveraging ninja-themed evasive creatures to chip away at opponents' life totals.
Yuriko utilized ninja tempo and topdeck manipulation, flipping large creatures off the top of the deck to maintain pressure and board presence. Key turning points included a successful Alter of Dementia mill attempt by Tevesh that was carefully navigated by opponents, and Kinnan's gradual mana ramp culminating in a potential infinite mana setup.
Multiple combat phases featured evasive creatures dealing incremental damage, with Yuriko and Dargo/Tymna applying pressure through unblockable or flying attackers.
The intense interaction between players kept the game volatile until Kinnan managed to lock down a winning position through combo mana generation, prompting a concession once the threat became insurmountable.
The game showcased fast-paced cEDH dynamics with early win attempts, heavy interaction, and explosive plays from all decks.
