Deck Strategies
Morophon, the Boundless
This hidden elfball deck aims to make infinite mana with Dockside Extortionist and leverage Morophon's cost reduction ability to win.
Cecily, Haunted Mage // Sophina, Spearsage Deserter
Fast combo deck that gains access to an infinite turns combo with Time Sieve. Aims for a fast win but can rely on both commanders to gain value in prolonged games.
Kraum, Ludevic's Opus // Tymna the Weaver
Focuses on quickly assembling win conditions with one card enablers like Ad Nauseam or Intuition. Puts a heavy emphasis on Ad Nauseam, Underworld Breach, and Dockside Extortionist flickers.
Slicer, Hired Muscle // Slicer, High-Speed Antagonist
A mono-red voltron stax list that aims to get an early Slicer on board and slow down opponents with stax pieces while gaining advantage with an equipment package.

Summary
The game began with each player setting up their board and developing their strategies. Slicer was a key card throughout the match, being passed around and used for aggressive tactics. Arthur, piloting Morophon, tried to assemble a hidden elfball combo, but was shut down by Loots' Pyroblast. Gavin, running Clue Farm, had a fast start but wasn't able to find the removal needed to handle Slicer. Ethan, playing Blue Farm, was hindered by a mulligan to five and couldn't find the resources he needed to win. Loots, controlling Slicer, managed to use the card effectively to eliminate Ethan and Gavin. Arthur made a crucial decision to remove Torpor Orb instead of Slicer, which ultimately paved the way for Loots' victory.
