Deck Strategies

  Jirina Kudro

  This deck focuses on creating a board presence with a multitude of creatures, ensuring survivability against sweepers and making all of your creatures threats. The game plan is to go wide, putting a bunch of creatures into play at the same time.

• 

  Gavi, Nest Warden

  The Gavi deck revolves around the mechanic of cycling, aiming for powerful cycling cards and adding lands, shock lands, and pain lands. The goal is to stretch the budget and make the deck powerful without resorting to unfair cards.

  Otrimi, the Ever-Playful

  The Otrimi deck focuses on the mutate mechanic, adding creatures that benefit from mutate and removing cards that don't synergize with it. The aim is to create one big creature and then make multiple copies of it to break through.
