🧭 Game Plan

Early Game

Develop your board with small lifegain creatures like Trained Caracal and Aven Skirmisher. Establish Anti-Venom or supportive pieces like Kindly Ancestor or Court Street Denizen to start stabilizing your life total and defending the streets.

Mid Game

Start layering equipment and buffs. Iron Spider, Stark Upgrade or Greatsword of Tyr on your lifelinkers quickly turn the tide. Use Blessed Alliance or Pacifism to keep enemy threats in check, and let Anti-Venom trigger his revival ability when your creatures die.

Late Game

Once your board is secure, close the game with Valiant Endeavor, With Great Power..., or Spider-Man, Web-Slinger. Your lifegain will make you hard to kill, while your upgraded heroes can swing for lethal. Anti-Venom ensures that even death only makes your army stronger.
