Strategy
Erestor of the Council is all about maximizing voting mechanics to generate value and information. Every time a vote resolves, you're getting Treasure tokens from opponents who agree with you, scrying based on disagreement, and drawing cards—essentially turning the political chaos of voting into pure advantage. Your gameplan involves playing voting cards repeatedly, steering the table toward outcomes that benefit you while generating mana and card draw.
The deck leans into instant-speed voting effects so you can hold up interaction while still participating in votes. Green and blue give you access to cards like Expropriate, Tide of War, and Quash-style effects that create voting scenarios. You're not trying to win on turn five; instead, you're a midrange deck that accrues resources every turn, eventually closing out games with a combination of board presence, card advantage, and the Treasures fueling bigger threats or combat damage.
