Aegar, the Freezing Flame focused on a foil, budget-friendly build utilizing burn and artifact synergy to chip away and maintain board control. Mina and Denn, Wildborn ramped aggressively through landfall and graveyard interactions to build a growing board presence. Volrath and Keruga's deck aimed at counters and big spells to overwhelm opponents, while Inquisitor Greyfax brought a control element to the table through clue generation and imprisonment effects. Early game turns saw players ramping mana and deploying key creatures like Fierce Empath to tutor impactful cards, ramping with mana dorks such as Llanowar Tribe, and setting up important artifacts like Arcane Signet. The mid-game featured strategic plays such as placing -1/-1 counters on opposing commanders to slow down threats, and utilizing draw spells and clue tokens to maintain card advantage. The gameplay highlighted a mix of aggressive and controlling strategies, with players balancing development of their board states while hindering opponents. The win condition revolved around either overwhelming opponents with growing creatures and landfall triggers or controlling the board with prison effects and incremental advantage from clues and counters.
