Miles Morales focused on building a board presence using +1/+1 counters and legendary synergies, while Anti-Venom pursued a Voltron plan, aiming to grow and protect the commander for a beatdown.
Venom's player leveraged reanimation and sacrifice mechanics to generate card advantage and cheat powerful creatures into play, and Wraith employed a Voltron strategy with unblockable double strike to pressure opponents aggressively.
