  This deck appears to focus on aggression with hasty creatures and leveraging Ognis's ability to steal and use opponents' creatures.

• 

  Hinata, Dawn-Crowned

  This deck seems centered around casting powerful spells at a discounted cost due to Hinata's ability and generating tokens from spellcasting.

Summary

The game begins with a flurry of setup plays, with mana ramp and creature deployment being the focus. MTGNerdGirl playing Arcades, the Strategist, employs a defender-centric strategy, laying out walls and taking advantage of Arcades' ability to attack with defender creatures. Astralsflame is playing Ziatora, the Incinerator, and sets up ramp early with a Sol Ring and a Talisman of Resilience. The first major attack comes from Arcades, hitting both Astralsflame and MTGNerdGirl. Later, a significant play occurs when Ognis, the Dragon's Lash, controlled by an unnamed player, uses 'Hijack' to temporarily take control of a Wurmcoil Engine and attack Astralsflame and MTGNerdGirl. Towards the end of the transcript, a failed attempt at a board wipe with 'Fell the Mighty' is thwarted by a counterspell, which proves to be a turning point in the game.
