A good deck is the blueprint of your game strategy. It determines how you interact with your opponent, control the game's pace, and ultimately clinch your wins. Each card choice and combination is a decision point, influencing how well you can execute your game plan. Do you want to overwhelm your opponents quickly, or would you prefer to control the game and win in the later stages? Your deck build answers these questions and sets the tone for your approach.
