Deck Strategies

• 

  Aminatou, the Fateshifter

  The deck aims to mill everyone out with Altar of The Brood or ping everyone to death with Corpse Knight, using Aminatou's ability to manipulate the top of the deck and flicker other permanents.

• 

  Phelddagrif

  The deck aims to create a friendly atmosphere by giving out resources ('free hugs'), likely leveraging benefits from group hug-style effects.

• 

  Jugan, the Rising Star

  The mono-green deck aims to generate a large amount of mana by repeatedly killing Jugan and placing its counters on mana-producing creatures, ultimately leading to a big finisher or combo.

• Ishai/Toggo

  The deck aims to utilize the synergies between Ishai and Toggo, potentially building around a card like Clock of Omens to generate value and control the board.

Summary

The game started with a typical pace, each player setting up their mana base and casting initial spells. Jason, piloting the Aminatou deck, quickly drew attention with a well-timed Jetaxian Probe early in the game, revealing key information about Matt's hand. However, the pace quickened when Jason managed to assemble a game-winning combo. Using Aminatou's ability to flicker Felidar Guardian, he was able to repeatedly trigger Altar of The Brood, thereby milling all opponents' libraries and securing a swift victory.
