Strategy

From Ep 100: Engines: “Continuous actions + proportional mana = value engine” aka SCIENCE. What else is there to say? 

• Value engines vs. Infinite Combos are like Modules vs. Stations
• Engine: a similar, repeatable line of play that doesn’t rely on exactly the same cards for every play.
