Current Meta Breakdown: Dominant Strategies This Patch

The meta moved last patch and you're still playing last month's game. Give the game and patch version and this lays out the top three dominant strategies and why they work, what got nerfed or buffed in or out, the mechanics underneath it all, and what a mid-level player should focus on to keep up. For anyone returning after a patch.

Give me a structured meta breakdown for {GAME_NAME} as of patch {PATCH_VERSION} or the current competitive season. Cover: (1) the top 3 dominant strategies or compositions and why they are strong, (2) any strategies that were recently nerfed or buffed into or out of the meta, (3) the underlying mechanics or synergies that make the current meta tick, and (4) what a mid-level player should focus on to stay competitive without needing to master the absolute top-tier play. Format with clear headings for each section.
