Gameplay Summary
The game features four decks themed around Avatar: The Last Airbender characters, each piloted by players exploring their unique elemental bending mechanics.
Early turns focus on establishing board presence and ramping mana, with Avatar Aang's deck incentivizing casting all four elemental lesson types (water, earth, fire, and air) to transform and unlock powerful abilities.
Iroh's deck capitalizes on granting flashback to non-lesson instants and sorceries in the graveyard, enabling multiple recasts and overwhelming card advantage.
Toph's deck utilizes graveyard recursion of instants and sorceries via discarding, synergizing with lessons to grow land creatures and maintain resource flow.
Katara's deck, though less detailed in the transcript, presumably supports waterbending and control elements.
