Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Ezio’s ability to cast assassin spells for reduced mana after dealing combat damage allowed for efficient board development despite the absence of typical ramp cards like Sol Ring or Arcane Signet.

• 2

  Wolverine’s use of creatures that place counters and create tokens each turn helped maintain pressure and board presence while deterring early aggression.

• 3

  Dihada’s focus on legendary tribal and keyword distribution created a resilient board state that was difficult to remove effectively, emphasizing attrition over flashy combos.
