Think of the deck like a flight path. First you need a clear runway – that means a solid early game that keeps the opponent on their toes. Put a few efficient threats or disruption cards that can win or slow them early, but don’t spend all your mana on them. Use low‑cost, versatile pieces that can fit into both the early tempo and the later stages. Then chart a glide into the mid‑game. Build a mana base that lets you hit your big finish on time, and include card draw or ramp to keep your engine running. Keep the curve balanced so you’re not waiting a full turn to hit your main combo. Make sure you have enough removal or control spells to keep the pressure in check; if you lose the tempo fight, you’ll have to rely on your late‑game. Finally, the finish is like a perfect landing. Stack the deck with a powerful late‑game win condition or a synergetic combo that can swing the game after a few turns. You’ll want to keep your deck lean so that those finishers can consistently appear, but still have enough safety nets to avoid a sudden collapse. In practice, test different tempos. See where you’re losing early, adjust the early threats, tweak the mana curve, and make sure the late finish still lands on time. The key is discipline – keep your deck focused on that flight path and resist the urge to add anything that throws off the timing. Good luck, and enjoy the journey!
