Best fit Techno-Organic Virus How to use it Use Martyr specifically when Techno-Organic Virus or a similar shell can turn her downside into something manageable or beneficial. Common mistake The common mistake is treating Martyr like a generic efficient 1-drop. Outside TOV-style decks, her downside can cost real games. Token advice Be conservative with tokens. This is more of an archetype purchase than a universal account upgrade. Source: 13 linked ItsGuestGaming article mention(s) found.
