Strategy
Ramp hard with dorks, land-fetch, and Landers, then bury the table in card advantage and oversized threats. Riku of Many Paths turns the deck’s pile of modal spells (charms, choose-one burn, spree, kicker) into extra value — every mode chosen exiles a card to play, grows Riku, or makes a flier. Keep the board clear with cheap instant-speed removal and counters while the mana engine snowballs. Close with land-scaled bombs: Ureni nuking the board for X = lands, Fungal Colossus and Chandra’s Incinerator coming down early, or just a giant Prismabasher swing. Archmage of Runes turns the dense instant/modal package into a card-draw engine while discounting it.
Upgrade path
Built 100% owned — every card has owned_qty>0 in the brawl pool. Fixing leans on owned Ravnica shocks (Breeding Pool, Steam Vents, Stomping Ground) plus Frontier Bivouac, Command Tower, and owned tap-duals; nothing here should block in gate. UPGRADE MENU (rare/mythic crafts NOT in this list that Mik could add later): 1) Tatyova, Benthic Druid is owned but if she weren’t, a craft like Cultivate/Explosive Vegetation tier ramp; 2) craft a Nyxbloom Ancient or Mana Reflection for explosive doubling; 3) craft Koma, Cosmos Serpent (owned alt commander) as a second top-end if you want a sacrifice/lock engine over Ureni.
