Until the end of your next turn, you may play those cards.

Strategy
Muerra is a trash panda that rewards you for spending mana efficiently, turning your typical turn into a resource engine. The core gameplan is to build a board of Raccoons while ramping into bigger spells—Muerra itself generates mana based on your Raccoon count, creating a snowball effect. As you cast spells and hit the expend thresholds (4 and 8 mana per turn), you'll gain life and exile cards to play, essentially drawing extra cards while staying healthy.
Your win condition is usually combat damage through a growing army of Raccoons, supported by the card advantage from expending. The life gain keeps you out of danger while you build momentum. You're not going off in one turn; instead, you're playing a tempo-y midrange game where each turn gets incrementally better as your Raccoon count climbs and your mana engine becomes more explosive. Late game, you're casting multiple spells per turn and exiling high-impact cards to finish the job.
