Strategy
K-9 is a tiny blue utility engine that turns your legendary creatures into evasive, protected threats. The deck wants to assemble a small cadre of legends—especially the Doctor if you're running partner—and use K-9's passive ward ability to make them hard to remove while tapping to punch through blockers. This is a tempo-focused strategy that leans on card advantage and smart threat sequencing rather than raw power, leveraging the legendary creature type to maximize synergies with cards that reward playing multiple legends in one deck.
