Atraxa's strategy was a bit elusive, with the player hinting at a big reveal. The deck seems to be more control-oriented, with a focus on drawing cards and playing defensive creatures.

Tadeas, Juniper Ascendant
Tadeas' strategy is centered around manipulating the field with enchantments and leveraging creatures with low mana value to gain card advantage.
