Play Guide:

This deck, a 'Strange' combination, indends to use Gravity's powers to pull strongly, and Wind to quickly progress, with the net result of draining opponent's forces and resources, then destroying them. It is therefore a little lacking when it comes to safely making basic strikes, except with specific creatures such as Jonas, but it stalls and builds speed well. The ability to take down threats before they become full threats at all, is very potent here, and all players have to do is make the decisions on when to attack. Unfortunately, without knowing what exactly remains after it discards, this may still be a hard decision to make. The Typhoon Wyvern provides the support against opposing swarms that Gravity often lacks, but it is best not to rely on it too much, especially given the deck composition, and the number of the player's own creatures that return to the hand. Usually the best strategy is to hold out until the opponent's hand dwindles and then strike quickly when there will be little opposition.

When the player has mastered the art of deciding when to use their removal effects and how to handle enemy movement, they can consider removing one of the Memory Loss and perhaps one of the Impel End to make room for NiaNia, Tradewinds Pixie, which makes it easier to know what one is up against and disrupt the opposing plans. Others may wish to try Suriya, Talisman Pixie, for the ability to cycle into what they need more rapidly and accelerate Jonas' power even more.
