Deck & Commander Strategies
Urza, Lord High Artificer
This deck utilises a variety of artifacts to generate mana and control the board. The primary win condition is through artifact-based combos.
Atraxa, Grand Unifier
Atraxa's deck is primarily a combo deck, leveraging Food Chain shenanigans. The deck also aims to use Atraxa's proliferate ability to take advantage of +1/+1 counters and infect.
Dargo, the Shipwrecker and Tymna the Weaver
This deck aims to leverage Dargo's power and Tymna's card draw ability through a variety of infinites to eliminate opponents.
Pako, Arcane Retriever and Haldan, Avid Arcanist
This deck looks to get Pako out early, attack to exile cards, and then use Haldan to cast them. The deck employs extra turn effects to get multiple uses out of Pako's ability.

Gameplay Summary
The game started with a flurry of mana ramp from all players, notably Aaron and Shivam, who both managed to get Mana Crypt out on their first turns.
Shivam swiftly followed this up with a turn two Pako, Arcane Retriever, which was promptly dealt with by Eliot's Teferi, Time Raveler.
Ben, playing Urza, Lord High Artificer, was able to establish a solid artifact-based board state including an Aether Spellbomb and Jeweled Lotus.
In a surprising twist, Ben then cast Time Twister, resetting hands and graveyards, indicating a potential shift in the game's tempo.
