Strategy
Halvar is a two-sided powerhouse that rewards you for going wide with cheap creatures while doubling down on equipment synergies. The front side is a lord that makes your team bigger and gives them vigilance, while the back side is a cost-reducer and card advantage engine that turns equipment into repeatable value. Your gameplan is to build a creature-heavy deck with low-cost attackers, then layer equipment onto them to close out games faster.
The core strategy revolves around playing efficient small creatures, suiting them up with both Sword of the Realms and other equipment, and generating incremental damage while building card advantage. Halvar's flexibility—splitting between creature and artifact—means you can rebuild easily if one side gets removed. The deck naturally leans into a midrange tempo shell that puts steady pressure on the board while your equipment suite turns the corner into inevitability.
