Deck Strategies

  Ms. Bumbleflower

  The Ms. Bumbleflower deck focused on fast mana ramping to get the commander out as early as possible. Key cards to this strategy included OKO, Thief of Crowns and Emrakul, the Promised End.

• 

  Bello, Bard of the Brambles

  The Bello deck leaned heavily into the Leyline theme, hoping to start the game with multiple Leylines in play for a strong early advantage. Key cards included various Leyline cards such as Leyline of Combustion and Leyline of Abundance.

• 

  Zinnia, Valley's Voice

  Zinnia aimed to leverage token generation and duplication. The deck incorporated cards like Esperl Sentinel and Serra Ascendant, with the hope of making multiple copies and achieving a massive board presence.

• 

  Hazel of the Rootbloom

  The Hazel deck focused on creating a slew of tokens and squirrels. Token generation cards like Liliana, Dreadhorde General and Dictate of Erebos, and new cards like Fountain Port and Hazel's Brewmaster, were key to this strategy.
