Strategy
Ori, Plate Stacker is a hatebear that doubles as a life gain engine, punishing your opponents' artifact and enchantment reliance while you bank life totals. The core gameplan is to land Ori on turn seven (or accelerate into it earlier with ramp), immediately wipe opposing artifacts and enchantments, then pivot into a midrange strategy where you leverage your life gain cushion to out-resource opponents. You're not racing; you're grinding. Ori fits naturally into a white control or midrange shell that exploits the life total advantage to stabilize, draw cards, and convert that margin into card advantage or threats over time.
In The Hobbit limited and constructed formats, Ori synergizes well with white's legendary and Saga density. If you can assemble three artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas, you unlock enduring story bonuses on your other Dwarves and white cards—turning Ori's cleanup effect into a scaffolding for a creature-heavy, storied midrange deck. Pair Ori with artifact-light strategies (enchantment-based control, creature-focused tokens, Equipment) so your own board is less disrupted by her enter effect. Win via incremental damage from equipped creatures, anthem effects, or by simply surviving long enough to deplete opponents' resources.
