'''''Beginner Guide'''''
This is not MtG.
PQ has:
#Objectives
#Lanes
#[[Mastery]]
= Objectives =
Power is not your friend. It is your enemy. Fast wins are for [[Training Grounds]] and [[Story]] Mode, and those are quite a small portion of the game.
= Lanes =
There are only three creatures you ever need face. If you have enough lifelink to match the power on the other side, you can't lose. However, this interferes with Job 1: Objectives. What else can we do about the Lanes? We can jam them up with weak or disabled creatures, with Hixus or Turn to Frog.
Or we can just kill them. Kill Spells are tactical in MtG; there's always too many creatures to kill them all. Not here. Here you are guaranteed not only to have enough kill spells, but automatic card advantage as well. Kill any reinforced creature and you have already won the card advantage game.
= Mastery =
Mastery is also our enemy. Bronze now features many opponents who know this, and tailored their decks to stay in Bronze and kill the noobs. Be equal to them, lose to them, doesn't matter; it's still better than facing the much greater number of excellent players who not only tailor their decks, but have access to cards you may never own.
= Conclusion =
Black. Always. Origins. Always.
Origins exceptions:
PMA cards are also always Standard.
Binding the Old Gods. Kills supports or creatures, draws a land, kills your own creatures if you have too much power/ kills more of their creatures.
= Mastery =
== Colorless ==
:5 points to all colors: The five Origins lands
Optional:
: 1 point to all colors: Alchemist's Vial
:5oints to all colors:
== Blue ==
:4/54 Blue: Turn to Frog
'''''PWs'''''
= [[Ashiok, Nightmare Muse]] =
Draw one of their cards, bounce what you can't/don't want to kill, maybe finish with a 30/30 Hexproof unblockable creature. Or just stay safe and ready to Bounce.
====[[Nissa of Shadowed Boughs]]====
Mastery/total. Best Source is packs or [[Crafting]] unless otherwise noted.
:2/2 Binding the Old Gods
:4/6 Cruel Revival
:4/10 Fleshbag Marauder
:16/26 Infinite Obliteration
:8/34 Priest of the Blood Rite
:8/42 Snuff Out (PMA) - Crystals
:8/50 Unholy Hunger - always $2.50 in Vault
:1+1/56 Colorless: Llanovar Wastes + Yavimaya Coast. Switch to Shivan Reef against a Green opponent.
Optional
: Harbinger of the Tides. Bounce, mostly inferior to kill, even with the additional cost. "Greg", the computer opponent, understands cost and will switch to another card efficiently.
:2/ Read the Bones. Draw is not usually the issue. Mana is.
:4/ Possessed Skaab. Combos with Cruel Revival, as Fleshbag does, and can bring back cards
:8/ Languish. Optional because with that many kill spells, you might not even need it to kill your own creatures for those objectives.
Mastery/total. Best Source is packs or [[Crafting]] unless otherwise noted.
