Strategy
Neriv doubles the damage of any creature that entered the battlefield this turn, which turns creatures into burn spells. The build is two halves pointed at that one line: creatures that deal damage the moment they arrive, and haste so anything cast connects on the same turn. Copy effects then let the same creature enter several times in a single turn.
Early: Three colours need fixing, so the opening is mana. Sol Ring, three Talismans and the guild signets get Neriv down on turn three or four, and Lightning Bolt, Swords to Plowshares and Abrade answer anything that cannot wait.
Mid: Neriv lands and every new creature is doubled damage. Fanatic of Mogis, Anathemancer and Sunspine Lynx hit the whole table as they arrive, while Lightning Skelemental and Ball Lightning bring their own haste. Lightning Greaves, Ogre Battledriver and Anger give everything else that same immediacy.
Late: Terror of the Peaks and Warstorm Surge turn every subsequent creature into a doubled bolt. Blade of Selves and Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink create extra copies that all count as having entered this turn, Delina, Wild Mage can make several, and Aurelia, the Warleader and Duke Ulder Ravengard add combats while the creatures are still fresh.
Win conditions: Damage, often without an attack connecting at all - Terror of the Peaks plus a few creatures entering kills across the table. Where attacking is better, Adeline makes tokens that entered this turn and Isshin doubles the attack triggers. Chandra's Ignition is the alternative finish, because its source is a creature and doubles if that creature just arrived.
- Terror of the Peaks - Every creature after it is a doubled bolt
- Lightning Greaves - Makes a freshly cast creature attack immediately
- Blade of Selves - Extra copies that all count as having entered
- Chandra's Ignition - Doubled when the source entered this turn
