Strategy
Lore, Positronic Provocateur is a flexible evasion and graveyard setup engine packed into a cheap blue-black body. Your core gameplan hinges on its modal enter trigger: either pushing a creature through unblocked for burst damage, or using surveil to fill your graveyard with fuel for reanimation and flashback spells. This gives you multiple viable axes of attack—you can lean aggressive with evasion-focused creatures, pivot to a graveyard-value strategy with reanimation, or blend both.
The deck wants to cast Lore early and repeatedly, leveraging its low cost to trigger often. Combine it with creatures that enable extra combat phases, flicker effects, or sacrifice outlets to maximize surveil triggers and graveyard setup. Your win path typically involves combat damage using evasion effects, or grinding value through self-mill into reanimation loops. The surveil half scales beautifully with mill-focused or aristocrats strategies, where dumping cards is pure upside.
