  • Imprint brand on the iso
  • play down the strongbox and trader
  • activate the strongbox's ability and then donate it
  • possibly draw three cards (krark helps for this)
  • use the iso to get it back

Part of the point of this site is to find alternate ways to do things. not to try and shoot down combos.

Besidew why always take the easy way out.

Its a shame brand is not as strong as it once was unlesws your playing classic rules. And if I recall correctly that is what lin plays. So this can be a lot stronger then just arcanis for him

Biggest reason to use this instead of arcanis is because its mono-red (a color which still lacks card advantage)
