Strategy
Doc Aurlock is all about breaking the mana restrictions on spells, letting you cast from your graveyard, exile, and hand while paying significantly less. This blue-green druid wants to fill your graveyard and exile zone with cheap spells, then replay them for value while plotting cards from hand for future turns. Your gameplan revolves around ramp, card advantage, and tempo—casting multiple spells per turn by leveraging the cost reduction, then grinding out opponents with efficient threats and utility spells.
The deck rewards you for playing a high volume of instants and sorceries alongside creatures that generate card advantage. You'll lean into self-mill effects, looting outlets, and cards with plotting mechanics to stock your graveyard and hand simultaneously. Once you've got Doc online with a few cheap spells in exile or graveyard, you're essentially cheating on mana and turn efficiency, which lets you outpace the table. Your wins come from either building a board of creatures and dealing combat damage, or grinding out value until opponents run out of resources.
