The game featured four distinct decks led by Atla Palani, Tymna the Weaver with Malcolm, Omnath, Locus of Creation, and Beledros Witherbloom. Early turns focused on ramp and setting up board presence, with players casting key cards like Timna and Malcolm to generate card advantage and treasure tokens.
