Also having an activator for Aphelios isn’t the worst, but I wouldn’t keep something like guiding touch just to have an activator. It insulates you from the downside of having nothing to do early and is a 4 mana Boxtopus which is really not bad in the matchup. The fangs is tolerable, but no real reason to keep it when you have Aphelios as an incredible upside to mull for. I would confidently mulligan everything other than gifts from beyond. Managing a board of elusives is generally done with Boxtopus or Aphelios’ moon weapons. It is important to note that Wraptero will have the attack token on turn 4 so Boxtopus can threaten a Twisted Fate on turn 4. ![]() Wraptero also has 2x Sunburst as “comets” in his maindeck. Your options on killing Twisted Fate are quite limited, with an attack token Boxtopus works, as well as Solari Priestess’s Invoke hitting Falling Comet and Meteor Shower. Particularly 1 & 3 as with mind meld you have time to find a way to manage it later in the game. ![]() Twisted Fate level up to go over the top.Īs a result of this, Wraptero should be looking for ways to prevent as many of these from occurring.Mind Meld for over 20 damage in a single turn.Repeatedly attacking with a strong elusive board.The main crux of the matchup is Targon’s ability to repeatedly heal to 20, so Beot needs to set up one of three situations: With mulliganing, I think it’s very important to understand how you win this matchup. Link to video: (Missing initial hand from Wraptero see first screenshot) ![]() I will be taking Wraptero’s perspective as I think it is more interesting. Please do not take this as me disparaging these players for their play, not only do I have advantages not afforded them, but I could also simply be wrong. It is much, much easier to find correct lines absent tournament pressure from a comfortable environment with infinite time, and neither player should be disparaged for their play not being what I deem optimal. I always like to start analysis off with a disclaimer: This is an analysis of a match between Wraptero and Beot during the Seasonal Championships for Cosmic Creations
