Deck Strategy

## 🎯 Win Conditions
- **Mutate into Big Threats**: Use Illuna’s mutate ability to consistently pull powerful permanents like Apex Devastator, Craterhoof Behemoth, or Etali, Primal Storm onto the battlefield.
- **Token Swarm**: Generate and buff tokens with cards like Avenger of Zendikar and Craterhoof Behemoth for a lethal attack.
- **Card Advantage**: Leverage Illuna’s ability to draw into game-ending threats or board control elements, maintaining pressure and resource advantage.

## 🚀 Early Game (Turns 1-3)
- **Ramp Early**: Utilize mana dorks (e.g., Birds of Paradise) and land-fetching spells (Cultivate, Evolving Wilds) to set up for bigger plays.
- **Cast Cheap Creatures**: Play creatures like Elvish Visionary and Coiling Oracle to draw cards and ramp mana.
- **Establish Mana Base**: Focus on setting up a strong mana base with dual lands (Breeding Pool, Command Tower) and utility lands (Blast Zone).

## ⚔️ Mid Game (Turns 4-7)
- **Mutate for Advantage**: Start mutating Illuna onto a creature to trigger card advantage. Prioritize exiling impactful permanents.
- **Develop Board Presence**: Play creatures that generate value (Beast Whisperer, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove) to build your board and gain card advantage.
- **Interaction & Defense**: Use counterspells (Counterspell) and removal (Beast Within, Chaos Warp) to protect your board and disrupt opponents.

## 🏆 Late Game
- **Finish with Big Creatures**: Use Craterhoof Behemoth or Apex Devastator to swing for lethal damage, leveraging your board presence.
- **Utilize Extra Turns**: If available, take extra turns to increase your chances of drawing into more threats or additional resources.
- **Control the Board**: Maintain control with spells that disrupt opponents while pushing your win conditions.

## 💡 Key Combos & Synergies
- **Illuna + Mutation Creatures**: Pair Illuna with high-impact mutators to maximize value and pressure (e.g., Apex Devastator).
- **Token Generators + Craterhoof Behemoth**: Generate a large number of creatures, then swing for game with Craterhoof.
- **Draw Engines**: Combine Beast Whisperer and other draw effects with board presence to keep your hand full.

## ⚠️ Watch Out For
- **Counterspells**: Be wary of decks with heavy counterspell presence that could negate your key plays.
- **Board Wipes**: Protect against mass removal spells that can devastate your token strategy.
- **Fast Aggro Decks**: Watch for aggressive opponents who can pressure you before you stabilize your board.
