• 

  Aminatou, the Fateshifter

  Aminatou's deck leverages her power to control the top of the deck and flicker permanents. This particular build appears to have a significant graveyard focus, using cards like 'Buried Alive' to set up for potential reanimation plays.

  Katilda, Dawnhart Prime

  Katilda's strategy revolves around going wide with multiple creature tokens, while also gaining life and utilizing human synergies. The deck also takes advantage of Katilda's mana-generating ability.

  Gishath, Sun's Avatar

  The Gishath deck aims to ramp quickly, cast large dinosaur creatures, and leverage Gishath's combat damage trigger to cheat more dinosaurs onto the battlefield. The deck also has a variety of ways to deal direct damage to opponents.

Summary

In this game, the Ratadrabik of Urborg deck faced off against Aminatou, the Fateshifter, Katilda, Dawnhart Prime and Gishath, Sun's Avatar. The early game was marred by mulligans, but Ratadrabik of Urborg eventually got a solid hand with two lands, ramp, and a sacrifice outlet. The game saw significant growth from the Katilda player, who was able to go wide quickly with a host of creature tokens. The Aminatou player was a significant threat throughout the game, especially after a 'Buried Alive' play that stocked their graveyard with powerful creature cards. Ratadrabik achieved a promising position by casting Braids and drawing into some good cards, while also managing to get multiple Sheoldreds onto the board. However, the game was still open with the growing threats from the other decks.
