However, this also provided Stephen with a substantial mana advantage. Simultaneously, Corey's Greasefang, Okiba Boss deck focused on aggression and aimed to keep the game pace high. John's Hidetsugu, Devouring Chaos deck showcased a strategy centered around revealing high-cost cards to deal damage to opponents. Jeremy's Abaddon the Despoiler deck aimed to exploit cascade-like effects to deal significant damage to opponents.
