Ray Fillet, Wave Warrior

Ray Fillet, Wave Warrior is a modest evasive threat that grows through the Evolve mechanic—a parasitic ability that rewards you for playing creatures with higher power or toughness. Your core gameplan is to flood the board with efficient creatures, especially ones that outsize Ray early on, triggering Evolve repeatedly while building card advantage through your damage trigger. Every creature with a counter that connects in combat draws you a card, so you're incentivized to play creatures that slip through defenses or force blocks.

The deck thrives on a mix of early flyers and mutant creatures (since that's Ray's type) that naturally grow bigger, along with enter-the-battlefield effects that generate value while also being evasive or difficult to block. You're essentially playing a blue tempo deck with card-draw engines attached to your creatures. Ray wants to be a mid-tier threat that draws cards and steadily outgrows blockers, letting you chip in aerial damage while refueling your hand and maintaining tempo.

This is a fairly straightforward deck for intermediate players—you're not assembling intricate combos, just sequencing creatures intelligently to maximize Evolve triggers and ensure your flyers deal combat damage. The win condition is combat damage over time, supported by card advantage that keeps your hand full of threats.
