A thematic deck built around calling forth creatures from liminal places.
I loved the theme of the Harbinger precon and wanted to bring the soul of that deck to the constructed format. I am continually brewing and experimenting with different strategies. As such, this primer will mainly focus on the themes and goals of the deck rather than specific strategies or inclusions.
Behold, Entities beyond comprehension!

The goal of this deck is to bring forth unfathomable beings to rain destruction upon the realm. To summon one, however, can be prohibitively costly so we must seek profane rituals to bend the rules of reality.

The rituals we seek will pull cosmic beings into the realm without having to pay mana or meet their threshold requirements.
| | | |
To find the necessary components of the ritual is a journey of it's own, so we must control the realm while awaiting the arrival of the incomprehensible.

Lesser beings made suitable sacrifices to prove our devotion.

And of course, rituals require components. Preparations are imperative for a successful summoning.
An early defensive site is important for keeping the opponent at bay. s are great for slowing the game down until you can complete your rituals.
If possible, I like to stay within the middle 3 columns so that is most effective.
Ultimately though, the goal is to blockade your opponent with hostile sites while building up to 6-8 sites.
