Deck & Commander Strategies
Mishra, Artificer Prodigy
Utilizes artifact-based stax elements to disrupt opponents' resources, leveraging fast mana and lock pieces like Grafdigger's Cage and Karn the Great Creator to control the board while establishing a dominant artifact presence.
Tymna the Weaver and Silas Renn, Seeker Adept
An Esper artifact-vehicle synergy deck that casts disruptive 'hate bears' to crew vehicles, then attacks with those vehicles to deal damage while using black tutors and artifact recursion to maintain pressure and card advantage.
Tymna the Weaver and Thrasios, Triton Hero
Focused on efficient tutoring and card advantage, this deck uses powerful tutors like Demonic Tutor and Mystical Tutor alongside a strong mana base to assemble combos or powerful midrange threats to dominate the game.
Tishana, Voice of Thunder
A green-blue merfolk deck that ramps extensively with creatures like Joraga Treespeaker and uses card draw engines such as Sylvan Library and Vizier of the Menagerie to maintain hand advantage and cast large threats quickly.

Gameplay Summary
The game started with a fast and interactive setup, with the Mishra Stax deck establishing early mana acceleration and disruptive artifacts like Mana Vault and Grafdigger's Cage, while the Bears in Cars deck aimed to develop its artifact and vehicle synergies.
Early plays included powerful permanents such as Karn the Great Creator, which was used to shut down key artifact resources, and Serra Ascendant, posing a significant threat early on.
The Stasios deck paired with Tymna and Thrasios sought to leverage efficient tutors and powerful card draw engines to maintain momentum. A critical moment came when Karn the Great Creator was activated to neutralize an opponent's Chrome Mox, significantly stalling their mana ramp.
Meanwhile, the Tishana deck adapted to the banning of Paradox Engine by focusing on mana ramp with creatures like Joraga Treespeaker, which was cleverly leveled up to generate abundant green mana, enabling quick deployment of threats like Vizier of the Menagerie.
The Bears in Cars deck capitalized on this by recurring artifact creatures and using vehicles aggressively for damage.
The game evolved into a tense race where life totals fluctuated rapidly, and players balanced between developing board presence and disrupting opponents' key strategies.
