Deck Strategies

• 

  Ayara, Widow of the Realm // Ayara, Furnace Queen

  This deck focuses on mono-black aristocrat strategies, reanimating creatures from the graveyard and using life as a resource. It also includes a splash of red for cards like Mayhem Devil.

• 

  Hakbal of the Surging Soul

  This deck is a modified version of a Kuma deck, with a focus on taking advantage of Hakbal's ability to generate value. While the specifics aren't clear from the transcript, it likely involves a mix of aggressive creatures and synergistic cards.

• 

  General Tazri

  The General Tazri deck is all about ally creatures. It aims to flood the board with allies and take advantage of their synergies to overwhelm opponents.

• 

  Agatha of the Vile Cauldron

  Agatha's deck is focused on playing a multitude of creatures and utilizing their activated abilities. Reducing the cost of these abilities by pumping up Agatha allows for powerful plays and unexpected interactions.
