cEDH Tournament Report: Kraum, Ludevic's Opus / Tymna the Weaver wins The Decatur Deathmatch REDEMPTION 2k

Decatur, Illinois, played host to the Decatur Deathmatch REDEMPTION 2k on November 8, 2026, and 52 players showed up to fight for the top spot. When the dust settled, Erik Carbonell [Monolith] took first place piloting Kraum, Ludevic's Opus / Tymna the Weaver, finishing with a 3-0-3 record. That's three wins, three draws, and not a single loss to his name, which is a mighty impressive line in a pod format where one wrong turn can end your day.

The rest of the top 4 makes for an interesting read. Thrasios, Triton Hero / Tymna the Weaver joined the winning partner pair on the final table, alongside two commanders we couldn't identify, so the full picture is still a bit of a mystery. As for how Carbonell's deck closes out games, we detected three routes: Thassa's Oracle paired with Demonic Consultation, Thassa's Oracle paired with Tainted Pact, and the classic Underworld Breach, Lion's Eye Diamond, and Brain Freeze combination. Plenty of ways to end the game, and apparently plenty of ways to end a pod too. Let's dig into the report.

🃏 The winning deck

Kraum, Ludevic's Opus / Tymna the Weaver · 98 cards · full decklist

Win conditions: Thassa's Oracle + Demonic Consultation, Thassa's Oracle + Tainted Pact, Underworld Breach + Lion's Eye Diamond + Brain Freeze (detected from the list)

How it plays & wins

This deck is a combo-control build that runs on cheap mana and tutors. Ad Nauseam, Necropotence, and Rhystic Study generate card advantage, while Mox Diamond, Mox Opal, Lotus Petal, Lion's Eye Diamond, and Dark Ritual provide explosive acceleration. Force of Will, Force of Negation, Mental Misstep, and Dispel protect the key pieces while the deck assembles its finish.

The most clearly supported win is Thassa's Oracle with an empty library, reached through Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact. Underworld Breach, Lion's Eye Diamond, and Brain Freeze offer a storm-style alternative. The list doesn't show a clear combat plan for Kraum and Tymna beyond incidental attackers, so the Oracle lines are the most likely way it closes games.
