Deck Strategies
Lord Windgrace
This deck aims to take advantage of lands, with potential strategies including landfall triggers, land destruction, or simply out-valuing opponents with massive mana generation.
Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign
Yennett's deck is built around manipulating the top of the library to cast high-cost, odd-CMC spells for free. Effective use of scry, surveil, and other deck manipulation effects are key.
Cadric, Soul Kindler
Cadric's deck revolves around the creation of legendary tokens. The deck aims to generate value by bypassing the legendary rule and creating multiple copies of powerful legendary creatures.
Omnath, Locus of the Roil
Omnath's strategy is to ramp quickly, take advantage of landfall triggers, and overwhelm opponents with value and large Elemental creatures.

Summary
The game started with each player introducing their commander and deck strategy. The commanders were Lord Windgrace, Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign, Cadric, Soul Kindler, and Omnath, Locus of the Roil. Cadric was the first to make a substantial move with an early play of Anointed Procession, setting up for a potential token strategy. Meanwhile, Yennett took advantage of a friendly Secret Rendezvous, allowing her to draw additional cards and set up for her 'odd-cost' spell strategy. Omnath soon joined the fray with a focus on land ramp, while Lord Windgrace was building up for a lands-based strategy.
