Game Plan

Early Game

Turns 1-2

Make efficient plays with Secrets of the Key and Jhoira's Timebug and set up your mid-game. Don't overextend into sweepers if you have a lead.

Mid Game

Turns 3-4

Develop your board while leaving up interaction. This is where the deck's threat-answer flexibility shines — read the matchup and pivot accordingly.

Late Game

Turn 5+

Leverage Errant Ephemeron and Ith, High Arcanist to dominate the late game. Resolve your biggest threats and protect them.
