Game Plan
Early Game
Turns 1-2
Deploy Footlight Fiend and Shock 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.
