Strategic Overview

Affinity aims to apply early pressure with cheap artifacts and capitalize on Cranial Plating for massive damage. Amulet Titan seeks to ramp quickly using Amulet of Vigor and Primeval Titan to establish a dominant board presence. Affinity should prioritize speed and disruption, while Amulet Titan should focus on stabilizing and executing its combo.
