Gameplay Insights

  Tasigur’s use of delve and mana rocks to reduce the casting cost of Peer into the Abyss allowed for an explosive card draw that decisively shifted the game.

  The interaction between artifact mana producers and Urza’s construct token provided a consistent mana base and board presence, though it was not enough to counter Tasigur’s combo.

• 3

  Playing Trinisphere to tax opponents showed awareness of slowing down fast spells, but it was ultimately circumvented by efficient mana acceleration and delve.
