Deck Strategies
Agrus Kos, Eternal Soldier
This Boros deck focuses on abilities that target Agrus Kos, making it similar to Feather decks but with abilities instead of spells. The goal is to control the board and deal damage directly to opponents.
Kenessos, Priest of Thassa
The main strategy of Kenessos, Priest of Thassa's deck is to scry and then play high-cost sea creatures directly from the top of the deck. The deck has a high mana curve, meaning it focuses on playing big, impactful creatures.
Kibo, Uktabi Prince
Kibo, Uktabi Prince's deck is full of Apes and Monkeys. The deck aims to generate value from artifacts going to the graveyard, which triggers the ability to put +1/+1 counters on all Apes and Monkeys. The deck also has a sub-theme of throwing bananas at opponents.
Isu the Abominable
Isu the Abominable's deck is a snow-themed deck that leverages the ability to look at the top card of the deck at any time and play snow permanents. The deck also has a sub-theme of putting counters on Isu when snow permanents enter the battlefield.
