Wernog & Sophina

This deck has 2 main paths to victory: combat, and artifacts synergy. While attacking is essential for either wincon to succeed, sometimes it doesn't actually matter if I'm getting damage through.

While combat is very straightforward (swinging for lethal), the artifact side is... also very straightforward (swinging with Sophina). To be a bit more specific, the artifact synergy wins by making lots of artifacts (usually in the form of Clue tokens from Sophina's on-attack trigger) and utilizing either etb effects like Reckless Fireweaver or stay-in-play effects like Sentinel Sarah Lyons to get more value. You may notice that I'm missing a few artifact-ltb effects like Marionette Master. This is partly because I only have a few ways to mass sac clues, and having a third synergy to chase alongside etb and stay-in-play was making the deck a bit unfocused.

Regardless of which gameplan comes out on top, you want to keep Sophina alive if possible. The deck relies heavily on her attack trigger both card advantage and ping damage. Wernog on the other hand is good as both a blocker and attacker, since his death isn't a big deal because he nets you at least one clue token.

A subtheme of this deck is on-attack triggers in general, and is enhanced by Isshin, Two Heavens as One.

Agent of the Iron Throne and Guild Artisan doubles in value here because it applies to BOTH Wernog and Sophina when they are in play, making every trigger happen twice

The most interesting card in the deck is probably Glaze Fiend. With Sophina attacking, it gets +2/+2 for each clue that enters. I have never seen anyone play or even recognize this card before.


As short and sweet of a primer as this is, the deck is fairly straightforward and the card pile names should be enough to figure out why individual cards are included. If that's not the case, feel free to leave a comment with any questions.
