Above that, you may also get a boardwipe, a ramp piece, or even Doppelgang. Prioritize boardwipe + draw piece, over draw piece + ramp piece. Take Doppelgang in opener only if the rest of your hand is fine. Don't be afraid to cast it early, often for X=1, unless you know you're up against graveyard hate.\n[T1-T5]: Play lands and engine pieces to establish a (small) board presence. Politick midrange by using this apparent weakness to your advantage. Don't block unless you have to preserve life.

During this period, make sure your boardwipes provide some amount of value for yourself, as you are only postponing the pressure until later. Once you find one, you can play it to fetch a boardwipe, cast it to pick everything up, and repeat on the next turn for between 7 and 9 mana. If you have 9-11 mana, you'll be able to create value from your pieces entering while setting your opponents back each turn, which puts you in the position to slowly win the game.\n[T14+]: Find a "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Doppelgang"}},{"insert":" and play a card like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Eternal Witness"}},{"insert":" while you have at least 17 mana.

Almost every creature in this deck is not worth removing, yet each piece contributes a small part to its endless engine of resources. It heavily abuses other greedy value-based decks, since those decks will be stuck perpetually replaying engines, and never get to untap. Combined with the main win condition being weak creatures and hidden card advantage, means that it's a very perplexing deck for most to handle.\n\nThis deck can be easily improved with tutors, or by putting "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath"}},{"insert":" in the Command zone. Do so if you wish. Most of the extra tech costs a lot of money, and isn't required for the deck to function.\n\nOne might think this deck needs more ramp, but the opposite is true. You get to play 1 land per turn for free, and ramp adds onto that count. If you fail to play a land, ramp becomes an expensive land to pay for. As you loop boardwipes, it becomes cheaper just to draw lands and play them one-by-one. This also has the added benefit of letting you dig for more interaction or combo pieces via draw, in later stages of the game.\nThis deck isn't perfect. It sometimes loses to: haste (sorcery boardwipes need a turn of summoning sickness), control (boardwipes kill the engine), and graveyard hate (which kills recursion). These pieces are ones you'll want to counterspell, if your livelihood isn't being threatened.\n"}]}
