This deck features a build utilizing the icebounds permanents. in combination with Auraq's power and specific uniques, it should grant powerful turns, every turn, once the deck is rolling. I think it's a difficult deck to play and I can't say yet if it will find it's place in the developing set 2's meta. However, it's a deck that really reward smart plays and matchup knowledge

Mulligan

Except if you start with Persefone, it is pretty difficult to not let your opponent advance on the first turn because of your 0 stats. Your options are : - Both try to advance ; - Set up for your next turns/permanents.

Mid/late game

As you want to play a lot of character, both for Auraq and your icebounds, you'll need to not run out of gas. You'll want to resupply with Esmeralda and Nyala, Talentuosa Evocatrice to always have something to play. Recover them from your reserve to resupply even more and make ton of value.

If you ever need lot's of stats, Anansi really is Le Monsieur : He can grow really big and give 3 0-stats for a cheap Crepa nel Ghiaccio.

Midgame is also the time to start alternating Auraq's hero power and Icebounds' rewards. This should give you very strong turns.

Uniques

best uniques are ones that resupply/anchor characters when you play a 0 stat. Those are pretty expensive, so I recommend for those on a budget to focus on uniques that put a lot of pressure : Lots of stats or great control. I personally went for uniques that can grow big with 0 stats.
