Deck Strategies

• 

  Nadu, Winged Wisdom

  This deck exploits Nadu's ability to play from the top of the library, using cards like Enduring Vitality and Kennan to combo off and gain huge card advantage.

• 

  Stella Lee, Wild Card

  Stella Lee's deck takes advantage of her ability to copy spells by setting up infinite loops. It uses Angel's Grace to prevent losing the game, then uses card draw and untap effects to draw the whole deck and win through life loss.

• 

  Glarb, Calamity's Augur

  The Glarb deck uses surveil to control the top of the deck, and then takes advantage of Glarb's ability to cast from the top of the deck, even during opponents' turns.

• 

  Plagon, Lord of the Beach

  The Plagon deck seems to be focused on ramping and casting large creatures, but the transcript was cut short before it could fully show its strategy.

Summary

The match starts with the players casting their commanders and setting up their board states. A key moment was when Stella Lee, Wild Card, played by Tyler, used a combination of Twisted Reflection, Twitch, and Angel's Grace to draw a majority of his deck and set up a loop with Wicked Rol, causing all opponents to lose an infinite amount of life. Despite this, the game continued with a second round, where the players again set up their boards, but it was ultimately cut short in the transcript.
