  Utilizes graveyard recursion of permanents to generate continuous value, combining land drops and creature permanents to out-resource opponents over time.

• 

  Helga, Skittish Seer

  Leverages casting high-cost creatures to draw cards, gain life, and ramp mana, enabling a midrange strategy focused on big creatures and card advantage.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Mesmeric Orb created a constant milling effect that shaped the game by accelerating graveyard synergies and disrupting card draw for all players.

• 2

  The repeated reanimation and copying of Archon of Cruelty applied immense pressure with forced sacrifices, discard, and life loss, becoming a pivotal threat.

• 3

  Helga's commander ability triggered off alternate casting costs like evoke, allowing for additional card draw and mana ramp beyond just casting creatures normally.

• 4

  Using subtlety to place opponent's spells on top of their library was an effective disruption tool that also synergized well with Helga's draw triggers.
