    Tifa Lockhart

    A mono-green landfall combo deck that boosts Tifa's power through stacking landfall triggers and equipment auras. The deck aims to quickly amass a large damage output from Tifa, often through pump spells and protective auras, to win by combat damage.

Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    Protecting Tifa with Hexproof and equipment buffs is critical to maintain offensive pressure and prevent disruption.

  • 2

    The green deck leverages landfall triggers combined with equipment to rapidly increase Tifa's damage output, enabling lethal swings without additional pump spells.

  • 3

    Mental Misstep and Oust provide key interaction points for the blue-green deck but are sometimes insufficient due to the green deck's ability to protect crucial creatures.

  • 4

    Choosing when to play lands is strategic; the green deck sometimes delays land drops to optimize landfall triggers and maintain mana flexibility for protection spells.

  • 5

    The green deck's ability to generate multiple triggers and stack them correctly creates a significant tempo advantage that the opponent struggles to recover from.

Gameplay Summary

The game features a duel between two aggressive combo decks: one led by Thrasios and Tymna, and the other by Tifa Lockhart.

Both decks aim for quick, high-impact plays to close out the game rapidly.

Early turns focus on setting up key combo pieces and protecting critical creatures like Tifa with equipment and hexproof effects.

The green deck uses landfall synergies and equipment triggers to boost Tifa's power significantly, while the blue-green deck attempts to disrupt and counter those plays with interaction such as oust and mental misstep. A pivotal turning point occurs when Tifa is protected from removal with Snake Skin Veil and a mental misstep counters an oust, allowing the aggressive player to maintain board presence and pressure.

The green deck leverages landfall and equipment stacking to push Tifa's damage output to lethal levels rapidly.

The opposing deck struggles to keep up due to the fast combo execution and lack of immediate answers to the landfall triggers and pump spells.

The game highlights the tension between all-in aggression and timely interaction, with the green deck narrowly edging out with a lethal damage combo enabled by equipment and landfall synergies.
