Which wincon is the hardest for you to understand?

Discussion

Clunky title, but I’ve brewed a few decks recently and have found the wincon of voltron (whether the commander themselves or another piece) to resonate with me and simple for me to pilot. One is in Boros colours equipment, one Orzhov sac + payoffs. I’ve also found board wide buffs of a small number of creatures (counter blitz, [[miles morales]] ) fun to brew.

But recently I tried to make a go wide deck with [[emperor mihail II]] and I just… can’t? It has restrictions (mono blue, merfolk tribal) but even with the more obvious cards (ie multiple anthems effects) it just doesn’t hit the same or feel right despite using a few of my favourite cards (stompy kraken and leviathan bois with [[summon leviathan]] ).

It’s like there’s a mental block stopping me from figuring it out, I’m actually thinking of folding from my mono blue challenge and going for [[sita Varma, masked racer]] or [[tam, mindful first year]] with loads of green creatures. Hell I’m even working on a [[nath of the gilt leaf]] discard/elf deck (as [[naths elite]] is one of my favourite cards).

The other one I’ve never even attempted is a mill deck!
