Deck Strategies
Urza, Chief Artificer
The Urza deck relies on generating a large number of artifacts to power up its creatures, particularly Master of Ethereum and Filigree Attendant. The deck also uses Mystic Forge to generate card advantage.
Pramikon, Sky Rampart
The Pramikon deck uses its commander's attack direction restriction to control the game's combat phase, while also playing disruptive spells such as Leadership Vacuum and Insurrection to turn the game in their favor.
Felix Five Boots
The Felix Five Boots deck uses unblockable creatures equipped with powerful artifact weapons, such as Sword of War and Peace, to deal significant damage to a single opponent. Strixhaven Stadium is also a key win condition.
Kenrith, the Returned King
The Kenrith deck is a Gates-focused deck that uses cards like Hold the Gates and Crackling Perimeter to take advantage of its many Gate lands. It also uses Kenrith's versatile abilities to adapt to various game situations.

Summary
The game started off fairly evenly, with each player setting up their boards and ramping their mana. The Felix Five Boots player was the first to deal significant damage, consistently sending an unblockable, Sword of War and Peace-equipped Slither Blade at the Kenrith player, taking advantage of the Pramikon's attack direction restriction. This resulted in Kenrith being the first to be eliminated from the game. With Kenrith out, the Felix Five Boots player became the main target. A key turning point was the casting of Leadership Vacuum by the Pramikon player, which returned their commander to the command zone and opened up attack options. The Urza player was then able to swing a massive attack at the Felix Five Boots player but failed to eliminate them due to Bedlam making their creatures unblockable. Finally, the Pramikon player used Eon Engine to reverse the turn order, then cast Insurrection, taking control of all creatures on the board and swinging for the win.
