Early on, the group experienced powerful group card draw effects such as Right of Flourishing and Howling Mine, accelerating their hands and pacing.

Omo, Queen of Vesuva, capitalized on her ability to place everything counters on lands and creatures, synergizing well with a variety of gate-related payoffs to pump creatures and ramp mana.
