Character Background
Fall of the First Civilization reads like a white control engine that pays in symmetry for a brutal, selective reset: the immediate I chapter trades card advantage, II gives you a one-for-one artifact exile, and III forces each player to choose three nonland permanents while everything else dies. It best supports control/value or midrange strategies that want to sculpt a board state rather than race — think decks with a handful of high-impact permanents and lots of answers. Build around it by keeping your win conditions concentrated (three or fewer key creatures/planeswalkers), running token generators so you can flood choices with disposable bodies, and packing flicker/ETB recursion or indestructible effects to ensure your staples survive the cull. It also pairs well with sacrifice outlets and graveyard recursion to profit from the sweep. Timing matters: cast it when your opponent overcommits or after you’ve consolidated value, because the I chapter’s shared draw can give them resources if played carelessly.
