Strategy
Kambal turns your opponents' spell-slinging against them, punishing noncreature spells while you gain life. This is a passive value engine that naturally scales in multiplayer—the more spells your opponents cast, the faster they lose life while you climb out of range. Your gameplan is to play Kambal early, protect him, and let the table kill itself while you pick up the pieces with removal and board wipes.
The deck leans into lifegain synergies and control elements to buy time. Cards like Zuran Orb, Ollivault, and various lifegain outlets turn your life total into a resource or another win condition. You'll pack interaction to keep threats manageable while Kambal's passive slowly drains the table. Since you're drawing extra cards through lifegain triggers and controlling the board, you'll often have the mana and answers to handle whatever comes your way.
