Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis
A group hug style deck focused on drawing cards and ramping mana for all players, aiming to outvalue opponents by keeping resources flowing and finishing with a protected Apocalypse and Baron of Glory combo.
Osgir, the Reconstructor
An artifact-centric deck that self-mills to fill the graveyard, creates artifact tokens, and reanimates powerful artifact creatures to control the board and outvalue opponents over time.

A Boros token strategy that generates a large army of tokens, pumps them with combat buffs and landfall triggers, and wins through overwhelming combat damage and burn spells.
Vial Smasher the Fierce and Tymna the Weaver
A Mardu (red-black-white) aggressive deck that uses political combat damage triggers, card draw from Tymna, and powerful angels, demons, and dragons to apply pressure and finish opponents with repeated combat damage.

Gameplay Summary
The game begins with Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis establishing a group hug strategy, ramping and drawing cards to benefit all players, while other players set up their individual game plans.
Osgir, the Reconstructor focuses on artifact synergy, self-milling, and reanimation, creating token copies of artifacts and leveraging graveyard recursion.
Iroas, God of Victory aims to build a large token army with Boros combat tricks and burn spells to finish the game through combat damage.
Meanwhile, Vial Smasher the Fierce paired with Tymna the Weaver ramps into powerful angels, demons, and dragons, using political combat damage and card draw to gain incremental advantage and apply pressure. Key turning points include the early token generation across the table, which sets the stage for aggressive combat interactions.
Timna the Weaver’s damage and card draw triggers, combined with Vial Smasher's damage output, create consistent pressure on opponents.
The use of Darksteel Mutation on Vial Smasher temporarily hinders some damage output but does not stop the deck’s overall momentum.
Ugin the Ineffable’s appearance from the Vial Smasher/Tymna player adds a board control element that helps manage threats.
Additionally, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight’s damage doubling proves devastating, dealing significant damage in a single attack and swinging the board state heavily.
Osgir’s artifact token generation and reanimation create resilience, but Gisela’s arrival and removal of key creatures shift the balance.
The game features chaotic interactions with frequent combat and strategic spells, with political combat damage and token strategies being the primary win conditions.
The game remains dynamic with players leveraging both creature combat and artifact synergies until a decisive victory emerges from the aggressive Boros and red-black-blue damage-focused decks.
