Edric, Spymaster of Trest led a rogue tribal deck focused on drawing cards and generating value through combat damage with evasive creatures, leveraging extra turns and incremental advantage. Najeela, the Blade-Blossom piloted a warrior tribal deck that aimed to swarm the board and utilize combos such as Berserkers and Bear Umbra to generate infinite combat steps for an overwhelming offensive. Edgar Markov's vampire deck prioritized value creatures and pressure through aggressive attacks and token generation, relying less on combos and more on board dominance. Marwyn, the Nurturer's elf deck focused on rapid mana ramp and value generation, with potential infinite mana combos involving Umbral Mantle and Staff of Domination, ultimately aiming to pump elves for a decisive board-state finish.
