Strategy
Neyith wants to be in the thick of combat, turning your creatures into fighting machines while drawing cards off the chaos. The deck leans into creatures that want to fight or get blocked—think enrage creatures, those with beneficial blocking triggers, and flex creatures that scale well when their power doubles. Your gameplan is straightforward: load up on mid-sized beaters, use Neyith to pump them and force blocks, then draw cards whenever a fight or block happens. You're essentially turning combat into a card advantage engine while your army gets bigger.
The secondary angle is using Neyith's power-doubling ability to turn average creatures into threats your opponents must deal with. Combined with cards like Embercleave or trample outlets, you can threaten lethal quickly. The deck thrives in the combat phase—it's not about fancy combos, just efficient creatures that synergize with fighting and blocking. You win by swinging with an army that's grown through card draw and strategic doubling.
