## 1. IDENTITY & WIN CONDITION
Tribal go-wide — flood the shared type, snowball its payoffs, race lore.
Primary plan: Tribal go-wide — flood the shared type, snowball its payoffs, race lore. Use removal to trade up and protect your tempo. Deploy finishers once you're ahead on resources, then close fast. Don't durdle — quest aggressively and keep the pressure on.

## 3. STRENGTHS
+ Good card draw — refuels and avoids running out of gas.
+ Plenty of interaction/removal to control the board.
+ Fast, low curve — applies early lore pressure.
## 5. OPENING HAND (keep/mulligan)
Simulated 20,000 openers: keep ~65%, avg 5.0 inkable.
Ink-screwed opener (<2 inkable): 0% Flood (>5 inkable): 35%
KEEP hands with 2-4 inkable, at least one early (<=3) play, and ideally a ramp/enabler or interaction. Mulligan no-early-play or <2 inkable hands.
## 6. INK GUIDE
Ink FIRST (safe fuel):
- Broadway - Sturdy and Strong (ink-safety 7/10): high cost with low early value — good ink fuel
Do NOT ink early (protect these):
- Angel - Experiment 624: hold until ~turn 6. provides removal, control — keep it for the plan
- The Queen - Devious Disguise: hold until ~turn 6. provides draw — keep it for the plan
- Mushu - Stealthy Dragon: hold until ~turn 5. provides draw — keep it for the plan
- The Terror That Flaps in the Night: hold until ~turn 4. provides removal, control — keep it for the plan; cheap enabler — you'd rather play it
- Hudson - Determined Reader: hold until ~turn 4. provides draw — keep it for the plan; cheap enabler — you'd rather play it
NON-INKABLE (can't ink at all): Darkwing Duck - Shadowy Superhero, Elinor - Renowned Diplomat, He Hurled His Thunderbolt, Launchpad - Trusty Sidekick, Little John - Sir Reginald, You Broke My Smolder
* Base rule: never ink a core engine piece before its best turn unless you hold a duplicate or already have that line running.
* Duplicate rule: a second copy of a unique/late card is much safer to ink.
* Matchup rule: vs aggro, slow finishers become inkable early (you need to survive); vs control, protect draw/finishers and ink spare removal.
* Board-state rule: don't ink a board wipe while you're behind on board.
## 7. GAME PLAN BY TURN
Turns 1-3: hit ink drops, deploy cheap enablers/ramp, don't over-commit into open removal.
Turns 4-6: establish your engine (draw/ramp/payoff), trade with removal, start building your win condition.
Late: deploy finishers when ahead on resources and close. Use board wipes only when behind on board.
## 8. COMMON MISTAKES
- Inking a core engine piece before its turn (see §6).
- Over-extending into an open board vs a wipe/removal.
- Durdling with a control hand and no clock — have a way to win.
## 9. UPGRADE SUGGESTIONS
-1 Darkwing Duck - Crime Fighter / +1 HeiHei - Bumbling Rooster [ramp, 70% conf]
Adds ramp (weight 9), the axis your deck is weakest in (Ramp: 0/100). Darkwing Duck - Crime Fighter is a low-impact body you won't miss.
Risk: Verify it fits your curve before locking it in.
