Lurrus provided consistent card advantage and resilience with companion mechanics, and Tymna Kamahl employed a resource-denial strategy with rule-of-law effects and stax elements, applying pressure through combat damage and disruption. Significant moments included English (Vohar) activating his commander to loot and drain opponents, as well as multiple copies of Tymna generating card draw that fueled further plays.
