Rin and Seri, Inseparable
Cast a mix of Cat and Dog creature spells to swarm the board with tokens, buff them with tribal lords, and use Rin and Seri's activated ability to burn opponents or clear key threats.

Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
