Strategy
Angus Mackenzie is a pillow fort commander that turns the board into a stalemate by repeatedly shutting down combat damage. Your game plan is to stay alive while you either out-value opponents over time or assemble a win condition that doesn't rely on combat. You'll lean on control elements, board wipes, and card draw to maintain parity while your opponents grind themselves down.
The beauty of Angus is that he forces the table into a defensive posture—nobody wants to attack if their damage gets negated. This buys you time to assemble a combo, build up token generators, or simply draw into your win condition. You're not trying to be the aggressor; you're the immovable object that eventually becomes a win threat through inevitability or alternate paths like Aetherflux Reservoir, Helix Pinnacle, or Laboratory Maniac effects.
