General

This deck features Barrette Mangiami and various other cards that will utilize it to its full potential. The general goal will be to stabilize the early game and ramp when possible. You’ll eventually win by having access to bigger creatures than your opponent. Atsadi ensures that you won’t run out of gas in the long run and helps you find the best options.

Mulligan

A good chunk of the deck is made up of characters/spells/expedition permanents that are playable on turn 1. You should be able to consistently find a 1-cost + 2-cost or a 3-cost to begin the game with. Depending on the matchup, you’ll look for stats or ramp.

For any matchup where you’ll want stats, Coniglio di Fuoco + any 2-cost is probably the way to go. For any matchup where you’ll want to ramp, Piccolo Jinn is central. It pairs well with Canalizzazione di Mana if you really want to accelerate your gameplay. It is possible to play Barrette Mangiami on turn 1 if you have a 4-cost in hand that will make up for it.

How to Play

As discussed in the Mulligan section, depending on your matchup, you’ll want to stabilize or accelerate your early game. For any matchup, the midgame will be ideal to ramp even further with cards like Grande Jinn or even with your uniques. The goal is really to put stats on the board and prepare yourself for bigger turns that your opponent won’t be able to handle. If you’re not the first player, setting up a Barrette Mangiami is amazing and will give you a lot of options for the remainder of that turn and possibly for the next turn too. This will help you achieve amazing turns with Demetra and Sakarabru. If you can’t find any Barrette Mangiami, don’t panic! It’s not necessary to find one to win. As your top curve is around 14–15 mana, you’ll usually have way more stats than your opponent anyway.
