Deck Strategies
Atraxa, Grand Unifier
This deck aims to control the board while setting up for a Thassa's win condition, making use of cards like Mystic Remora for card advantage.
Winota, Joiner of Forces
This is an explosive Stax combo deck that aims to overwhelm the board with non-human creatures and cheat in creatures with Winota's ability.
Tymna the Weaver & Kraum, Ludevic's Opus
This deck focuses on quickly assembling win conditions with one-card enablers like Ad Nauseam and seeks to have the fastest deck at the table. It also uses Underworld Breach and Dockside Extortionist for value.

This Rakdos Stax deck aims to slow down the game with Thorn effects and potential land destruction, using Tevish Szat as a value engine.

Summary
The game began with a great start for Hidden Planet X's Atraxa deck when he managed to get down an early Mystic Remora, drawing a significant number of cards. Vincent's Winota deck managed to exert some early pressure on the board with a swing from Winota and a Sanctum Prelate. Breezy's Rograkh/Tevish deck was able to slow down the game with a Thorn effect and a few Stax pieces. However, the key turning point came when Ginger Beard Man's Tymna/Kraum deck attempted to go for the win with Thassa's Oracle and a Demonic Consultation. However, Hidden Planet X had a response, evoking out an Endurance to shuffle Ginger Beard Man's graveyard back into his library, nullifying the Thassa's Oracle win attempt.
