Deck & Commander Strategies
Satoru, the Infiltrator
Utilizes evasive attacks and card draw to eventually assemble a combo or win condition, but in this game was forced into a slower, value-oriented approach due to lack of immediate combo pieces.
Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom / Okaun, Eye of Chaos
A combo-oriented deck that leverages coin flips and aggressive tutors to disrupt opponents and assemble a quick finish, often relying on Time Twister effects and interaction to maintain tempo.
Animar, Soul of Elements
A creature-based ramp deck that focuses on casting and protecting cheap creatures to grow Animar, enabling explosive elemental synergy and combo potential.
The Master of Keys
A combo/control hybrid that uses artifact synergies and tutoring to generate card advantage and disrupt opponents, often threatening combos while controlling the board.
Okaun, Eye of Chaos
Paired with Zndrsplt, this deck emphasizes aggressive board presence and coin flip interactions to generate value and disrupt opponents.

Early turns saw typical fast mana plays and tutor effects, with players ramping aggressively using lands like Ancient Tomb, Lotus Petal, and Mox Opal.
