Deck Strategies
Commodore Guff
The Commodore Guff deck focused on gaining advantage through planeswalkers and artifacts. It utilized card draw and mana ramp to build up a powerful board, with Ajani, Caller of the Pride's ultimate ability providing a massive swarm of tokens as a win condition.
Otrimi, the Ever-Playful
The Otrimi deck revolved around the mutate mechanic, aiming to build up a powerful creature stack. The deck lacked interaction and board wipes, which proved to be its downfall.
Breya, Etherium Shaper
The Breya deck was themed around artifacts. It aimed to control the board and generate value through cards like Inquisitor Gravex, but was ultimately overwhelmed by Max's tokens.
Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons
The Hapatra deck aimed to control the board through -1/-1 counters and snake tokens. Despite establishing a strong early presence, it was unable to keep up with the escalating threats from other decks.

Summary

The match saw a lot of back-and-forth, with each player trying to establish board dominance.
