Reign of Jafar Deck [Control-Focused Villain Strategy] The Reign of Jafar Starter Deck is all about cunning villainy mixed with raw strength, designed to win by carefully controlling the board while pushing toward 20 Lore
We still didn't have anything approaching a "set file," but as someone who is more used to designing for Limited, I wanted to test our mechanics in something that felt like the games of Limited I was used to
This means that aggressive decks with more than one colour can steeply benefit from lands like Starting Town, which will allow them to make powerful plays at the start of the game, no matter the colour of the card they're casting
I've previously been the game design lead for sets including Core Set 2020 , Strixhaven: School of Mages , The Brothers' War , and Aetherdrift
