I Like Creature Cards With Big Toughness and I Cannot Lie w/ @Ashlizzlle & @LRRMTG | Ep 160

Deck Strategies

• 

  Zoraline, Cosmos Caller

  The Zoraline deck aims to gain life, leverage B synergy with attack triggers, aristocratic synergy for sacrificing and reanimating creatures, and self-mill to fill the graveyard with permanents to be brought back.

• 

  Lathril, Blade of the Elves

  The Lathril deck focuses on generating a large number of elf tokens and leveraging their swarm to either use Lathril's ability or overwhelm opponents.

• 

  Doran, the Siege Tower

  The Doran deck leverages high-toughness creatures and aims to control the board state. The deck aims to overcome opponents by effectively utilizing Doran's ability to deal combat damage equal to toughness rather than power.

• 

  Urza, Lord High Artificer

  The Urza deck focuses on generating a large number of construct tokens and maximizing the use of Urza's abilities. The deck's main strategy is to generate a swarm of constructs and blink and recast Urza for repeated value.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  The Zoraline deck's self-mill strategy can be a double-edged sword, providing resources but also risking key cards.

• 2

  The Doran deck's reliance on high-toughness creatures provides a strong defense, but it may struggle if Doran is removed from the field.

• 3

  The Urza deck's construct generation strategy can be highly effective if Urza is allowed to stay on the field.
