  Leverages lifelink creatures and steals opponents’ auras with enchantment-based control, disrupting enemy strategies while gaining incremental value and political leverage.

  Kastral, the Windcrested

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Equipping Mirror Shield on Valduk not only granted hexproof but also made blocking risky for opponents due to the ability to destroy blocking creatures, significantly improving Valduk’s survivability and offensive potential.

• 2

  The synergy between Valduk’s token creation and Witch’s Mark auras increased both the size of Valduk and the number of elemental tokens generated, providing a powerful board presence rapidly.

• 3

  Using Path of Ancestry to scry when playing creatures of the same type helped ensure consistent draws and board development, maximizing the value of cheap creatures in the scout and bird tribal strategy.

• 4

  Eriette’s ability to steal auras added a layer of political interaction and disruption, turning opponents’ buffs against them and forcing careful consideration of when to play auras.

• 5

  Aegar’s card draw trigger from excess damage encouraged aggressive combat, promoting a dynamic where players needed to balance offense and defense to maintain board control and card advantage.
