AI draftAI-generated draft analysis — not yet human-reviewed. Treat with healthy skepticism.Limited summary
Five-mana 2/5 flier that attacks as a much bigger creature when you have a board: +1/+1 for each other creature you control. In a go-wide token deck it routinely swings as a 5/8+ in the air while blocking well on the ground.
Roles
CreatureRole — Mainly provides a body on the board.EvasionRole — Hard to block — flying, menace, unblockable, and similar.FinisherRole — Closes out the game once you're ahead or the board stalls.PayoffRewards you when the archetype's condition is met — only as good as your enabler count.
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.WU Humans / RecruitWU Humans / Recruit — AzoriusGo-wide Humans deck built around the Recruit mechanic: assemble a board of Human tokens and creatures, then leverage payoffs that reward a large Human count.How it plays: Prioritize cheap Humans and Recruit enablers early, then curve into anthem-style payoffs. Watch for sweepers; commit only as much as you need. Token generation makes chump-blocking and race math favorable.
Gameplay notes
The pump only happens when it attacks — on defense it's just a 2/5. Count your board before racing.
