How it plays
Cheap flash and evasive creatures like Floodpits Drowner, Spyglass Siren and Dream Beavers put on early pressure. Removal and counters such as Requiting Hex, Shoot the Sheriff and Spell Pierce trade off with the opponent's threats. Kaito, Bane of Nightmares and Enduring Curiosity draw cards to win the long game.
Good for players who want an answer to everything. Mid to high budget.
