Strategic Overview

Oops! All Spells aims to win by executing a combo that mills its entire library and wins with Thassa's Oracle or other graveyard effects. Izzet Delver needs to disrupt this plan with counterspells and apply pressure quickly. Both decks should focus on their key strategies while adapting to the opponent's threats.
