Deck Strategies
Rowan, Scion of War
This deck aims to grind its way into an early 'Peer into the Abyss' or abuse life to channel it into a huge 'Torment of Hailfire' or 'Exsanguinate'.
Talion, the Kindly Lord
This deck aims to slowly grind the match through its sheer card draw potential, control the stack when needed and win through 'Notion Thief' or 'Thassa’s Oracle' shenanigans.
Agatha of the Vile Cauldron
This deck aims to create infinite loops with other creature’s abilities costs being reduced by Agatha’s passive. Agatha is also a mana sink to finish the game.
Will, Scion of Peace
This deck aims to gain a lot of life, enabling it to ritual into an early 'Enter the Infinite', or cheat in an early doubled 'Approach of the Second Sun'.
