Bring your own BUSTED - Chucky // Niko // Muldrotha // Galadriel // - WPCS #127

Deck Strategies

• 

  Niko, Light of Hope

  Utilizes blink effects to repeatedly exile and return creatures, generating shard tokens that copy those creatures to gain multiple enter-the-battlefield triggers and create a threatening board presence.

• 

  Muldrotha, the Gravetide

  Focuses on self-mill and graveyard recursion to replay powerful creatures and permanents from the graveyard, aiming to overwhelm opponents with large threats like Lord of Extinction.

• 

  Galadriel of Lothlórien

  Leverages scrying and landfall triggers to ramp quickly and generate tokens, using card selection and land drops to build a dominant board state.

• 

  Kardur, Doomscourge

  Creates chaos by forcing opponents to attack each other, punishing attacking creatures that die with life drain, and enhancing creatures with spells that grant double strike and haste to maintain board control.
