After winning Top Deck Cornerstone in 2025, Zac returned in 2026 with Enchantress and went 8-0, undefeated, taking the tournament down for a second consecutive year.
In this episode, Zac and Phil break down what made the Enchantress build so successful—and, more importantly, the process behind the deck's construction and mulligan decisions.
The biggest lesson wasn't necessarily a particular card. Zac heavily prioritized mulliganing for avatar-specific hate sites, using his knowledge of the opposing decks to effectively turn his best-of-one opening hands into something resembling post-sideboard games. Garden of Eden against Archimago, Mortuary against Archimago, Funeral Pyre against Death Speaker, and Ring of Morgan against Savior were all cards Zac actively looked for.
