Strategy
Patriot is a modest white Hero who wants to tap down and pump your creatures, protecting them while boosting their offense. You're building a creature-focused deck full of Heroes and other allies that benefit from being tapped and receiving boosts. The core gameplan is steady creature development, using Patriot's ability to protect key threats while pushing through damage. You'll win by assembling a team of resilient creatures, often tapping down blockers or threats while your board grows. Think of it as white's answer to go-wide strategies—you're not going infinite, just building up an army that's hard to stop.
