Strategy
Rona, Sheoldred's Faithful turns your instants and sorceries into a slow burn engine while offering graveyard recursion as a backup plan. The core gameplan is to load your deck with cheap instant and sorcery spells—cantrips, removal, counterspells, and draw—then cast them repeatedly to ping each opponent for 1 life while digging toward your win. Rona's recursion clause means you can discard excess cards and reanimate her from the graveyard, extending your reach and recovering from board wipes.
You'll typically win through incremental damage by casting a dozen or more spells per game, slowly whittling down opponents' life totals while maintaining control and answers. The deck plays a grindy, tempo-focused game: you're never the fastest deck at the table, but you're resilient and efficient. Rona's toughness and recursion make her surprisingly hard to remove permanently, so she often sticks around to trigger repeatedly.
