Edric, Spymaster of Trest

Gameplan

Flood the board with small, evasive creatures and attack every opponent each turn to refill your hand off Edric's trigger, snowballing card advantage until you can deploy a finisher or alpha strike. You play a low-curve tempo deck that prioritizes unblockable and flying threats over big bombs, using the cards drawn to fuel counterspells, protection, and more attackers.

Key Cards

• Edric, Spymaster of Trest — The engine itself; every evasive attacker becomes a cantrip when he's out.
• Coastal Piracy — A backup Edric that draws even if he's been removed, protecting your card engine.
• Curiosity — On an unblockable creature it draws extra cards, stacking with Edric's trigger.
• Aqueous Form — Cheap, reliable unblockable enabler that guarantees connections and draws.
• Kindred Discovery — Naming Elf or your token type turns every attack and ETB into massive card flow.
• Cyclonic Rift — The premier reset that clears blockers and protects your alpha strike for the win.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana (Sol Ring, mana dorks like Birds of Paradise) and cheap unblockable enablers to ensure Edric connects turn after turn. Lean into a backup draw plan (Coastal Piracy, Bident of Thassa) so removal on Edric doesn't stall you, and include a decisive finisher like Craterhoof Behemoth, Finale of Devastation, or an infinite combo to convert card advantage into a win before the table stabilizes. Tighten the curve and add efficient protection (Heroic Intervention, Swiftfoot Boots) to keep your engine alive.
