Galea's deck focused on enchantments and land synergy, leveraging cards like Courser of Kruphix combined with Ethereal Armor and Ancestral Mask to create a massive, evasive threat. Feather's deck emphasized combat tricks and life gain through creatures like Loyal Apprentice and acrobatic maneuvers, aggressively pressuring opponents with lifelink and haste to stabilize her position. Killian utilized a more controlling and evasive strategy, enchanting himself with Inner Demon and Spirit Loop to impose board control and gain incremental life, while also using spells that reduce costs for targeted creatures.
