Kenji's Zacama, Primal Calamity deck was a big stompy control deck that aimed to ramp up mana quickly in order to unleash a horde of dinosaurs and drive opponents to extinction.
Zhulodok, Void Gorger
Jimmy's Zhulodok, Void Gorger deck aimed to ramp as fast as possible, use the commander's cascade ability to gain value, and then flood the board with huge colorless Eldrazi Titans.
Kykar, Wind's Fury
Josh played Kykar, Wind's Fury, a deck full of cheap non-creature spells that draw cards and control the board. The deck aimed to create a swarm of tokens and then pump them up for an all-out attack.
