Deck Strategies

• 

  Narset, Enlightened Master

  The strategy for this deck revolves around casting Narset and using her ability to exile cards and cast them without paying their mana costs. The deck does not run any extra turn spells or land destruction, making it more reliant on other forms of combo or control.

• 

  Yawgmoth, Thran Physician

  This deck focuses on grinding out opponents through attrition, using Yawgmoth's abilities for removal and protection. The deck also runs a host of zero mana creatures to fuel Yawgmoth's card draw ability.

• 

  Kess, Dissident Mage

  The goal of this deck is to slow down opponents by countering key spells and then trying to win with a fast Thassa's Oracle combo. The deck also utilizes Kess's ability to cast spells from the graveyard, allowing it to reuse counterspells and other key cards.

• 

  Rielle, the Everwise

  This deck aims to mill out all opponents using a variety of wheel effects. The deck also uses Rielle's ability to draw cards whenever it discards, allowing it to quickly cycle through its library and set up its win conditions.
