Nathan Drake, Treasure Hunter

Gameplan

Suit up Nathan Drake and swing every turn to exile the top card of all four libraries, then cast whatever you can afford using his color-fixing ability that lets you spend any mana on spells you don't own. You snowball card advantage off opponents' decks while connecting for first-strike combat damage, and your mana base only needs to support your own spells. Close games by chaining stolen bombs, going wide on theft value, or assembling a Grixis combo.

Key Cards

• Rogue's Passage — Pushes Nathan through for guaranteed connects so you always trigger the theft attack.
• Etali, Primal Storm — Stacks more multi-library impulse theft on top of Nathan's trigger for explosive turns.
• Aggravated Assault — Extra combat steps mean extra Nathan triggers, exiling and casting even more free spells.
• Treasure Map — Ramp and fixing on-theme that smooths casting your own spells while you steal the rest.
• Sword of Feast and Famine — Evasion plus untapped lands lets you cast stolen spells on opponents' turns and protects Nathan.
• Bolas's Citadel — Adds another layer of cast-from-the-top value that pairs with your theft engine.

Upgrade Path

Add evasion and protection (Whispersilk Cloak, Lightning Greaves, Shadowspear) so Nathan connects every turn, and lean into extra-combat enablers like Aggravated Assault and Combat Celebrant for more triggers. Stack other impulse-theft effects (Etali, Bolas's Citadel, Light Up the Stage) to maximize free casts, and tighten ramp/fixing with fast mana and Treasure generators to keep up with multiple stolen spells per turn. For higher power, slot a compact combo finish to convert the value lead before opponents stabilize.
