Concentrate on mana. Get the Reaper out.

On the way, set up ramp and retrievers.

Slam that goddamn useless Changeling on the desk - and it becomes a weapon.

Spawn the Infantry. They grow strong, as their hero changelings rain down on their enemies.

And then bring hell.

Flicker them in and out. Trigger them. Again. And again. And then retrieve them back to your hand.

And ram them back onto the battleground.

They trigger not once, but twice now.

Start with the mana base.

Kill their lands.

Then strangle them.

One by one

their heroes
shall
fall
