Description

{"ops":[{"attributes":{"color":"#e2eeff"},"insert":"A spell-slinging blade master and her friends face off with the rest of the pod in an epic battle across the LGS …"},{"insert":"\n\nThe strategy here is pretty straightforward, but will need a little patience to play out. We cast a bunch of cheap cantrips and instants as well as cards that like us to do so: The usual token-producing suspects and cards that like us drawing more cards will be the key to overwhelming the table.\n\nWhile Zethi only costs 3 to cast, using her kicker cost is imperative to get that value engine rolling. Fear not though, we are running quite a few ways to bounce Zethi to hand so we can continue to recast her for varying kicker costs. \n\nThe best part is that once a spell is exiled with a kicker counter on it, Zethi’s attack trigger will apply to all of them; meaning you can do multiple castings with smaller kicker increments to keep from having to depend on one big cast for a pay-off.\n\nWe are running a good bit of removal in various forms to break opponents momentum, most of which gets even better once Zethi kicks them into exile. A few boardwipes are in the mix as well, including everyone’s favorite, Cyclonic Rift … which can be abused by Zethi’s attack trigger.\n\nBesides the removal package we also have a decent amount of protection cards to keep our general and other key pieces safe from our opponents’ attempts to stall us out.\n\nSo what you waiting for? Sleeve up some cantrips and show the table you’re a true master of the blade!\n\n\n\n\n"}]}
