Strategic Overview

Affinity aims to overwhelm Eldrazi Tron with fast, artifact-based aggression, leveraging Cranial Plating and Arcbound Ravager for explosive damage. Eldrazi Tron seeks to stabilize with large threats like Thought-Knot Seer and disrupt Affinity's game plan using cards like Chalice of the Void and Walking Ballista.
