Aim

The main premise behind this deck is to deal lots of damage via additional upkeeps provided by Obeka, Splitter of Seconds. Given Obeka is the centrepiece of the deck she needs to be a) protected and b) ensured to connect for combat damage. As such a significant proportion of the deck has been dedicated specifically for this. Emphasis on maximising Obeka's ability in this deck comes from double strike which makes her harder to deal with in combat as well as maximising the upkeep triggers.

From there the damage comes from life-sapping effects provided by cards such as Twilight Prophet and Palace Siege to all out damage from the collection of 'Court' cards e.g. Court of Ire.

There are also a few cards allowing access to 'The Undercity' which becomes particularly potent when traversing the dungeon so quickly.

Alternative win conditions come from cards such as Darksteel Reactor and Mechanized Production provided Obeka is connecting. This often allows 'win from nowhere' turns that surprise unsuspecting opponents.
