Summary

In a competitive EDH game full of interaction and strategic play, the players piloting Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, Thrasios, Triton Hero, Tymna the Weaver, and a Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh/Silas Renn, Seeker Adept partnership showcased various strategies and intricate game decisions. The game saw significant momentum shifts, with Yuriko's player landing a massive hit by revealing a high-cost card for a significant life loss across the board.
