Deck Strategies
Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second
Generate multiple cat and dog tokens with haste and vigilance, then buff them with Jetmir's Garden and other effects to overwhelm opponents through wide board presence and combat damage. Utilize Halo Fountain for potential alternate win conditions.
Beledros Witherbloom
Create a steady flow of pest tokens that gain life upon death, leveraging Doubling Season to double token and counter production. Aim for an infinite life loss and gain combo with Exquisite Blood, Sanguine Bond, and Meathook Massacre to drain opponents.
Nin, the Pain Artist
Control the board and draw cards by dealing damage to creatures with Nin's activated ability. Use Arcane Bombardment combined with Time Warp to generate infinite turns and repeatedly cast spells for overwhelming advantage.
Prosper, Tome-Bound
Generate treasures and artifacts, then sacrifice them to produce infinite mana and drain life through Marionette Master and Treasure of the Disciples. Use this mana to cast game-ending spells like Crackle with Power to finish opponents.
