By equipping a giant hamster with Sword of Hearth and Home and later casting The Great Hinge, he was able to keep a strong board state and life total. Alcus with Ovika, Enigma Goliath also had a significant impact on the game, generating numerous goblin tokens and maintaining card draw with Kindred Discovery and Idol of Oblivion.
