Etali, Primal Conqueror cEDH stats

Win conditions: Underworld Breach + Lion's Eye Diamond, Dualcaster Mage + Twinflame, Food Chain (detected from the list)

How it plays & wins

This is a Gruul combo-midrange deck built on a huge pile of fast mana: Moxen, Sol Ring, Mana Vault, Lion's Eye Diamond, and rituals like Rite of Flame and Seething Song. A flood of tutors (Imperial Recruiter, Eldritch Evolution, Worldly Tutor, Sylvan Tutor, Gamble) finds the right piece, while Veil of Summer, Pyroblast and Red Elemental Blast protect the turn. Etali can also be cast as a powerful backup plan.

The cleanest kill is Dualcaster Mage plus Twinflame, which makes infinite hasty Dualcaster copies to attack with. Food Chain and Underworld Breach with Lion's Eye Diamond are also in the list, but I don't see an obvious final payoff for them, so I can't say confidently how those lines close out the game.
