How It Wins

There is no one dedicated way to win with this deck, and that is purposefully chosen. The player must dig through the clues to try and see the bigger picture, to solve the mystery!

Perhaps you infect out your opponents by using Skrelv, Defector Mite to get your creature with Grafted Exoskeleton through…

Or…

Maybe your Commander equipped with Nettlecyst can surprise kill an opponent with the help of some Second Harvest -ed Clues…

Or…

Let’s say you get Peregrin Took out with Summoning Station to get “infinite” 2/2 creatures…

Or…

You could always amass an army to overrun your opponents using cards like Ethereal Investigator or Mad Ratter…

Use your Clues to help find the pieces you need and out-value your opponents.
