Strategy
Rick Jones is a mono-green mill engine that rewards you for milling by tutoring Heroes and enchantments directly into your hand. The core gameplan is to activate Rick repeatedly, converting your library into hand advantage while sculpting answers and payoffs. You're not trying to mill opponents into submission—instead, you're using Rick as a repeatable tutor that happens to mill as a side effect. This lets you fill your graveyard with utility while stocking your hand with the specific pieces you need each turn.
The deck wants to untap Rick efficiently and protect him, then chain his ability with cost-reduction effects and extra activation mana. You'll win through combat with a pumped Hero or enchantment-heavy threats, or by assembling a synergy engine that overwhelms opponents. Since Rick is a 0/3, he's a natural backup target for equipment and protective enchantments. Plan enchantments pair perfectly here—they trigger whenever you mill, and you're milling a lot.
