Deck Strategies
Jirina Kudro
The game plan for Jirina Kudro's deck was to generate a large number of creature tokens, boost their power, and deal substantial combat damage.
Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice
Light-Paws' strategy aimed to control the battlefield by forcing opponents' creatures and artifacts to enter the battlefield tapped, while leveraging enchantments for board advantage.
Imodane, the Pyrohammer
Imodane's deck was focused on a burn strategy, aiming to deal direct damage to opponents and their creatures. The deck also capitalized on spellcasting to trigger additional effects.
Dihada, Binder of Wills
The Dihada deck aimed to manipulate opponents' decks, forcing them to mill cards and make difficult decisions about whether to keep those cards or lose life. The ultimate goal was to steal opponents' permanents with Dihada's ability and sacrifice them to Bolas's Citadel.
