Deck overview

This list is an aggressive midrange deck piloted by Tana, the Bloodsower and Tymna the Weaver under the strict companion restriction of Umori, the Collector. Every nonland card in the 99 is a creature. The strategy leans into high-density 1-drop mana acceleration to deploy Tymna on Turn 2, securing card flow by connecting with early evasive attackers. Tana follows on Turn 3 or 4, converting combat damage into wide Saproling boards. The deck leverages creature-based protection including Jennifer Walters, Voice of Victory, and Ranger-Captain of Eos to lock opponents out of interacting on your turns. By Turn 5, the wide battlefield fuels decisive overruns via Jetmir, Nexus of Revels, Craterhoof Behemoth, or damage doublers like Twinflame Tyrant. While resilient against single-target interaction on its own turn, the all-creature constraint completely sacrifices traditional stack countermagic, instant-speed creature removal, and cheap board sweepers, making it vulnerable to opponent-turn combo wins and asymmetric mass bounce.
