  Winter, Cynical Opportunist

  This deck uses efficient milling and delirium cards, taking advantage of multi-typed cards. The deck aims to constantly generate value and board presence through Winter's end step triggers.

• 

  Aminatou, Veil Piercer

  A control strategy focused on manipulating the top of the deck to make use of miracle cards, while also providing some degree of board control.

• 

  Niko, Light of Hope

  This deck revolves around generating Shard tokens, which can then be used to duplicate any creature that enters the battlefield. This strategy often leads to powerful late-game attacks.

  The Seizan deck is built around hand hate and forcing opponents to draw cards, leading to significant damage over time. However, it lacks board interaction and can be slow to build up.

Summary

The game took a dramatic turn with Davey's activation of the 'Damnation' card, which cleared the board. However, her Seizan deck, which focused on hand hate and forced drawing, had less impact than anticipated due to Nico's ability to maintain Shard tokens even after board wipes. This proved crucial, as these Shards became copies of subsequently cast creatures. The game culminated with the casting of 'Angel Of Invention', which, combined with a large number of Shards, facilitated a lethal attack, leading to a victory.
