Archetypes
RW Dwarves / StoriedRW Dwarves / Storied — BorosDwarf tribal deck built around Storied: once you control three or more artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas, you have an 'enduring story' for the rest of the game, permanently upgrading your Storied cards.How it plays: Count your artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas when building — you want to turn on the enduring story early and reliably. Equipment counts twice here (artifact + Dwarf tribal support). Once the story is on, it stays on, so cheap enablers that die don't turn it off.BR Goblins / AmassBR Goblins / Amass — RakdosAggressive Goblin tribal deck using Amass to grow an Army while chipping in damage. Sacrifice and death-trigger payoffs convert expendable bodies into value.How it plays: Amass stacks onto a single Army creature, so protect it or diversify threats. Removal-dense colors: use it to clear blockers and keep tempo. Death triggers make trades profitable.
Gameplay notes
The extra combat unTAPS all attackers — with a big enough board it's usually lethal on the spot. Count total attacking power carefully; 12 includes the Worm itself.
