Summary
A key turning point was when Tymna/Thrasios cast Finale of Devastation and other powerful spells to establish dominance, while also using recursion from Eternal Witness and Dance of the Dead to maintain pressure. The board state became a complex battlefield of value engines, with players juggling resources to maintain card flow and disrupt opponents. Eventually, the player piloting Tymna/Thrasios managed to draw their entire deck and cast Oracle of Mul Daya to seal the game with a deck-out win condition. This demonstrated the power of sustained card advantage and mana acceleration in cEDH, overcoming early disruption and interaction from opponents.
