Deck Strategies
Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder
The Yidris deck is designed to take advantage of cascade triggers. By dealing combat damage with Yidris, it can cascade into multiple spells, ramping up quickly and creating a substantial board presence. The deck also includes landfall synergies, as seen with the creation of multiple Scoot Swarm tokens.
Lulu, Loyal Hollyphant
Lulu deck's specific strategy isn't clear from the transcript, but it typically involves leveraging the benefits of artifacts and enchantments. One example is the use of Smuggler's share to generate treasure tokens and card draw.
Tayam, Luminous Enigma
Tayam's deck revolves around manipulating counters to bring back permanents from the graveyard. It also uses sacrifice synergies, as seen with the Braids and Cruel Celebrant interaction.
Cadric, Soul Kindler
Cadric's deck seems to focus on control elements and making strategic plays. One notable play was the use of Mangara of Corondor to exile threats from the battlefield, in this case, Yidris.

Summary
The game started off with the players setting up their boards and ramping up. Seb's Yidris deck was the first to make a significant impact, with a brutal turn 2 Idris, and cascading into multiple spells along with landfall triggers creating an army of 32 Scoot Swarm tokens in a single turn. Maxim's Tayam deck also showed potential, with a Cruel Celebrant coming in with a counter and a clever use of the Braids' end step trigger, causing each opponent to lose life while he gained. Felix's Cadric deck brought in some control elements, exiling Seb's Idris, which slowed down his momentum. The game continued with more intense board interactions and strategic plays.
