Game Plan

Early Game

Turns 1-2

Deploy Plagued Rusalka and Tragic Slip as early as possible and commit to attacking. Every turn you don't attack, you fall behind on your plan.

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.
