Strategy
Thor is a flying threat that rewards you for dealing noncombat damage—which means pingers, burn spells, and damage-dealing abilities become card advantage engines. Every time a source you control burns an opponent, you exile that many cards and can play them this turn, turning Lightning Bolts into mini Firemind's Researches. Your gameplan is to layer in cheap red damage sources (shock effects, ping creatures, and red impulse-draw spells) while Thor applies pressure from the air. The deck wins by chipping away with Thor's flying body while filling your hand with exiled goodies, eventually closing out with a burn spell flurry or commander damage once you've assembled a critical mass of damage triggers.
