Strategy
Donnie & April is a political card-draw engine that rewards you for including your friends in the value. The core gameplan is to cast this 5-mana creature and immediately generate card advantage—either by drawing cards yourself, helping opponents recur spells, or ideally both by targeting different players. Since you control the modes, you'll typically draw cards while giving opponents back a single spell, which feels fair but tips the scales in your favor over time.
The deck wants to protect Donnie & April and recast them repeatedly. Blink effects like Soulherder or Ephemerate let you retrigger the ETB multiple times per turn, turning one creature into a repeatable advantage engine. You can also lean into Azorius (add white) for more blink and control elements, or stay mono-blue and focus on card draw, tempo, and protecting your board. The win comes from steady value generation—you'll out-card-advantage the table while staying political enough that players don't immediately target you down.
