How it plays
This deck plays only a few units and protects them with counters like Defy and Not So Fast, plus buffs. It moves those units with Ride the Wind and Gust to take battlefields the opponent cannot defend. Most turns come down to one good combat backed by a trick.
Harder to pilot, because timing your tricks matters. It was the most played deck at LA, so it is a good one to learn to play against.
