Summary

Main objective: activate Light Speed controlling a Nikola’s Watch.

• You draw your deck with Light Speed.
• The opponent phases out their deck with Nikola’s Watch.

Main problem: control 3 Galactic equipments and survive while you collect them.

Plays

You can defend yourself with a Materialized Armor, improving it during the game.

1. Channel a Time Ore.
2. Put in play a blank (and free) Materialized Armor using Glass Replica.
3. Play a real Materialized Armor (-1 mineral mana cost) using the « Ore » and « Armor » components.

The armor improves its defense as you play Galactic equipment (mineral mana locked under them).

I’d prioritize the Materialized Armor over the Galactic equipment.

You can improve Materialized Armor with more Time Ore if it’s a bad cycle.

Now that you have a « Time » component, you also can put in play a Nikola’s Watch (-1 mineral mana cost).

The rest of the game should be focused on playing the Galactic equipment and discarding Faraway Star:

• Use Glass Replica to play Galactic equipment.
• Use Brilliant Inspiration and Galactic Boots to discard Faraway Star, then channel them.
• Cycle to get the cards you need (and maybe phase out the opponent meanwhile).
• Use Cat to improve your hand or fix dead-end scenarios.
• Use Glimpse to the Future to make the opponent’s deck shorter than yours.

I’d play the Galactic equipment in this order:

1. The Helm to make things cheaper in :Arcane: (including the Mantle).
2. The Boots to add more cards to the discard (better for Cat and the Mantle).
3. The Mantle last.
