Hardened AcademicCool but RudeMarauding Mako

How to play it

  • Play 1–2 mana creatures from turn one and attack every turn
  • Keep hands with turn 1–2 plays; mulligan hands of expensive cards
  • Spend removal on blockers, not on what is attacking you
  • Count damage every turn: games end sooner than they look
