Strategy
Meneldor is a flying tempo creature that doubles as a repeatable blink engine. Every time he hits a player, you can exile and return one of your own creatures, triggering all their enter-the-battlefield effects over and over. The core gameplan is to swing in with evasive damage while abusing ETB synergies—think creatures like Mulldrifter, Soulherder effects, or even your own creatures with powerful enters that you want to reset.
You're not trying to kill with Meneldor alone; instead, he's the engine that fuels your value engine. Pair him with creatures that generate mana (Peregrine Drake), draw cards (Soulherder), or set up combos (Karmic Guide with a sacrifice outlet). The deck aims for a typical Blue midrange plan: stay alive, generate incremental advantage, and eventually bury opponents in card advantage and board presence. In casual pods, this feels fair—you're working within the evasion and ETB space rather than locking people down.
