Deck Strategies
Azlask, the Swelling Scourge
This deck focuses on generating resources through sacrificing creatures and cycling cards. The goal is to create a dominance on the battlefield with eldrazi spawn tokens, while also drawing through the deck with Azlask's abilities.
Danitha Capashen, Paragon
This mono-white deck aims to suit up Danitha with various enchantments to make her a formidable threat on the battlefield. The deck utilizes a mix of defensive and offensive enchantments to control the board state.
Coram, the Undertaker
This deck seeks to leverage Coram's attack-triggered milling ability to disrupt opponents' strategies and potentially mill them out. It also uses various creatures and graveyard interactions for added value.
Obeka, Splitter of Seconds
The Obeka deck aims to exploit Obeka's ability to end the turn prematurely. This is combined with cards like 'Court of Cunning' to mill opponents and control the pace of the game.

Summary
The game started off with a fairly balanced board state, but quickly escalated when Coram player, Maximus, played a 'Titano Rex' to bolster his commander. Notably, Maximus managed to use 'Coram' to make everyone mill their deck while also dealing significant damage. The Obeka player, Ma, managed to mill the opponents significantly using 'Court of Cunning' and 'Obeka', but the most impactful play was made by Azlask player. Using a combination of 'Oira, Tactician', 'Pitiless Plunderer', and 'Emeria's Messenger', he generated a substantial amount of eldrazi spawn tokens and treasures. He used these to continuously cycle an 'Eldrazi Ravager' from his hand and create more spawn tokens, effectively creating a draw engine and a board presence. Despite a valiant effort from Ian, playing Danitha and buffing her with enchantments, the game was ultimately dominated by Azlask's spawn token generating engine, ending in a massive surge of power from 'Azlask'.
