Summary

The game began with a typical cEDH ramp and resource acceleration phase, with players deploying mana rocks like Mana Crypt, Sol Ring, and Ancient Tomb to jumpstart their strategies. Early plays included creatures like Ragavan and token generators, alongside stax elements such as Blind Obedience that slowed down opponents. The game transitioned into a midgame where players cast powerful tutors and impactful creatures, including Dockside Extortionist and Esper Sentinel, increasing the pressure on the table. A key turning point occurred when the Dargo player executed a complex combo loop involving copying and sacrificing Dargo with Twinflame and Technomancer, generating a massive amount of treasure tokens. This loop allowed them to cast multiple spells and ultimately deploy Orcish Bowmasters to repeatedly sacrifice creatures and drain each opponent’s life, effectively winning the game through a series of incremental damage steps. The finish was both thematic and clever, leveraging recursion and treasure generation to close out the match.
