Gameplay Summary
The game features a highly competitive four-player cEDH match with decks piloted by Myra the Magnificent, Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy, Malcolm/Bruse, and Thrasios/Rograkh.
Early turns emphasize ramp and setting up key pieces: Myra deploys quickly with Jeweled Lotus and begins generating attractions; Kinnan ramps aggressively with Lotus Petal and Green Sun's Zenith to find Seedborn Muse; Malcolm/Bruse focuses on assembling a combo with Glint-Horn Buccaneer and Malcolm, while Thrasios/Rograkh attempts to establish a polymorph combo with Proteus Staff and Hullbreaker Horror.
The pivotal moment occurs when Malcolm/Bruse pilot Dante executes a devastating infinite loop with Glint-Horn Buccaneer and Malcolm, generating treasures and pinging opponents repeatedly to drain the table and win the game.
Despite the win, the players opt to continue for another round, resetting the board.
The second game sees similar ramp and interaction, with Myra again quickly deploying and using attractions to control tempo, Kinnan setting up Seedborn Muse for multiple untaps, and Thrasios/Rograkh attempting to protect their combo pieces with Force of Negation.
The gameplay highlights the tension between combo assembly, counterspells, and board control in a fast-paced cEDH environment.
