Game Plan

Early Game

Turns 1-2
Deploy Gift of Fangs and Cutthroat Contender as early as possible and commit to attacking. Every turn you don't attack, you fall behind on your plan.

Cutthroat Contender
Sanguine Statuette

Mid Game

Turns 3-4
Maintain pressure while watching for open attacks. Use your interaction to clear blockers rather than save it for defensive purposes.

Late Game

Turn 5+
With most of your hand played out, aim to finish the game before topdecking. Prioritize evasive threats.

Strengths & Weaknesses

  • Fast clock that puts opponents on the defensive immediately
  • Consistent early game due to low mana curve
  • Vulnerable to mass removal and lifegain that disrupts the damage race
  • Poor late game — topdecks are weak when the hand is empty
