Community: Combo or Non-bo?
When is something a combo vs. Synergy? Do combos need to take 3-4 cards to be acceptable? I’m not a fan of two-card win buttons personally, but let’s argue about it
Strategy: Let’s Play Combo
- Open Combos vs. Concentrated Combos
- Digging vs. Incidental
- Playing “Keep you off the button”
