Tier A — event-topping — expected in top 8s and top 16s

the field: 5% share, 52% win over 33 decks — disagrees with the A call.

One creator's opinion, published 2026-09-06. Not a measurement, and not ours.

Ramp fast, shrink whatever attacks or blocks, and stall behind tall bodies and heals.

What it does well

• The −2000 works on both turns, so it trades into their board and defends with the same ability.
• Ramp, heals and a 10-cost blocker that gives the DON!! straight back.

Where it struggles

• Very little Counter, so repeated mid-sized attacks are hard to answer.
• Games are much harder without the 6-cost ramp piece that gets it to ten.
