Guide

Strengths

Once your engines are online and you have a few cheap spells in hand there isn't much your opponent can do to stop you.

Weaknesses

Can struggle to finish games if you don't find Glinda.

Mulligan

Always hard mulligan for Glinda, if she's in hand look for Three Blind Mice or Sandman.

Key combos and lines

Ideal opener is Three Blind Mice turn one, Sandman turn two, then Glinda with 0 cost Trash for Treasure on Three Blind Mince + Reinforcements + Van Helsing's Tools turn 3.

Notes and changes

V2 Swapped Big Bad Wolf for Humpty. Still unsure if it's actually better but I enjoy the RNG.
