Deck Strategies
Garna, Bloodfist of Keld
The Garna deck seems to focus on recursion and leveraging death triggers. Unfortunately, a lack of sufficient mana in this game prevented the strategy from fully unfolding.
Sephara, Sky's Blade
The Sephara deck is a bird tribal strategy that seeks to swarm the board with flying creatures. Key cards like Glorious Anthem and Rally the Wings can boost the team, and Sephara herself provides a significant level of protection.
Liesa, Shroud of Dusk
Liesa's strategy revolves around life gain and life loss, using cards like Warlock Class and Angel of Destiny. The deck also has a good amount of removal and disruption to control the board.
Averna, the Chaos Bloom
Averna's deck capitalizes on the Cascade mechanic to gain value and develop the board. It also includes landfall synergies to benefit from the extra lands put into play with Averna's ability.

Summary
The game started off with each player developing their boards at a steady pace. Max's Averna, the Chaos Bloom deck made efficient use of Cascade mechanic, which helped him establish a strong board presence. However, Mika's Liesa, Shroud of Dusk deck seemed to dominate the early and mid-game, leveraging life gain and aggressive attacks. Kevin, playing Garna, struggled with mana throughout the game, which hindered his progress significantly. The game reached a turning point when the player piloting Sephara, Sky's Blade, used Ravnica at War, exiling key multicolored creatures from the battlefield. This shifted the momentum and eventually led to an overwhelming attack, causing Mika and Kevin to concede.
