IV: Commence the Endgame – Counters

commence the endgame - counters

Part IV of the War of the Spark story provides an emblem that essentially lets you proliferate at the end of each turn, and if you had nothing to put a counter on then you get to Amass 1 instead. We identified hyper-aggressive strategies to be the way to go, eschewing traditional value metrics for a very low curve. In this video, we played some games with the Selesnya aggro deck that easily got us to 10 wins. We then tinkered with various other builds of aggro within the Bant colors, eventually ending the video with an even more tuned version of Selesnya.
