Game Plan

Early Game

Turns 1-2
Deploy Enter the Unknown and Llanowar Elves as early as possible and commit to attacking. Every turn you don't attack, you fall behind on your plan.
Enter the Unknown
Cast Down
Ixalli's Diviner

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.
Lurking Chupacabra
Tomb Robber
Emperor's Vanguard

Late Game

Turn 5+
With most of your hand played out, aim to finish the game before topdecking. Prioritize evasive threats.
Emperor's Vanguard
Lurking Chupacabra
Beast Whisperer

Deck Play Profile

Derived from automated card-by-card analysis across all known versions. The Capability Profile shows how the deck measures up across six functional dimensions — pressure, interaction, card advantage, and more. The Play Style hexagon uses the same data to place the deck on the aggro–control–combo–midrange spectrum.

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
