Deck & Commander Strategies
Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow
This deck aims to deal combat damage and use Yuriko's ability to whittle down opponents. It uses a mix of ninjas and blue/black interactive spells to maintain control.
Omnath, Locus of the Roil
Omnath's deck seeks to leverage elemental synergies and plans to win through combat damage. It's a resilient deck with the potential to win with 'Field of the Dead'.
Feather, the Redeemed
Feather's strategy revolves around instants and sorceries that target Feather for draw or other value. A notable win condition in the deck is the Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Felidar Guardian combo.
Torbran, Thane of Red Fell
Torbran's deck is a classic red strategy with a twist. The deck packs multiple ways to deal damage, and with Torbran, each instance of damage gets an additional two, effectively accelerating the clock for opponents.

Gameplay Summary
This was quite an engaging and fast-paced game.
Early in the match, Justin was able to get Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow on the board, ninja-ing her in for some early damage and card advantage.
However, the table quickly turned against him, with Logan's Torbran dealing consistent and amplified damage and Ethan's Omnath creating a formidable board presence.
Corey's Feather deck, meanwhile, was more control-oriented, disrupting the board state with cards like Wear // Tear.
The game saw a significant shift when Justin was eliminated by Ethan's Omnath, with Corey and Logan left to fight against Ethan's dominant board state.
