Deck Strategies
K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth
This deck aims to use life as a resource to cast spells for free or at a reduced cost. With a good setup, a turn two Necromancy on a key creature like Vilis or Hoarding Brood Lord can set the stage for a win.
Derevi, Empyrial Tactician
This deck exploits Derevi's untap and tap triggers to generate infinite mana and control the game. The deck includes cards like the one ring and other tools to achieve this.
Tymna the Weaver and Kraum, Ludevic's Opus
This deck, also known as Blue Farm, aims to generate a lot of mana and creatures early on and then capitalize on those resources with cards like Stasis Prison and Goblin Welder.
Dargo, the Shipwrecker
This deck seeks to generate a lot of treasures and use Dargo as a win condition. With enough resources, the deck can cast Dargo and potentially win the game.
