Discover the fundamental strategies that shape competitive decks.
4 archetypes across 387 decks
Aggro 127 decks
Aggro decks are all about speed. They aim to end the game fast by deploying efficient threats early and keeping the pressure on before opponents can set up their game plan.
Combo 100 decks
Combo decks are built around a specific interaction between cards that can win the game in one big turn. They spend most of the game assembling their pieces, then strike all at once.
Control 59 decks
Control decks play the long game. They use removal, counterspells, and card advantage to neutralize threats and take over once the dust settles.
Midrange 220 decks
Midrange decks are the jack-of-all-trades. They play flexible, high-value cards that let them adapt — going aggressive against slow decks and grinding out faster ones.
