Draw-Go philosophy
- Typically Control style deck
- Aim is to control the board
- Win under a limited number of conditions
- Increase card draw
- Play spells on other player’s turns
Strategy:
Why is red normally bad at draw go?
- Red is aggressive and taps out
- Red has a lot of sorcery speed power
- Red has poor additional card draw
