How it plays
Cheap cantrips like Opt and Sleight of Hand fill the graveyard and make Eddymurk Crab cheaper. Every instant and sorcery also powers up Hearth Elemental and Sunderflock. Burn and counters such as Burst Lightning, Spell Pierce and Prismari Charm handle threats while a few efficient creatures close the game.
Rewards tight sequencing, so it suits experienced players. Mid budget.
