    Ratchet, Field Medic // Ratchet, Rescue Racer

    Leverage artifact recursion and lifegain triggers by transforming between Ratchet's two sides, enabling artifact-based value engines and resilience through recurring key artifacts tapped from the graveyard.

  • Heliod, Sun-Crowned

    Heliod, Sun-Crowned

    Focus on lifegain synergies and graveyard recursion, utilizing Heliod's ability to put +1/+1 counters on creatures when lifegain occurs, supported by creatures like Walking Ballista to generate incremental board control and damage.

Gameplay Insights
