River - Reclaim Loop
Topic - River Surges in Sunlight
Intro
A standard and powerful opening that smoothly maxes Massive Flooding to clear land after land.
Plan your presence placement carefully, as you don’t get any more once in the reclaim loop.
Opening
- G2 Bot/Bot > Bounty + Wash Away
- G2 Bot/Bot, reclaim Bounty > Bounty + Flash Floods + Boon
- Reclaim, minor > minor + Bounty
- G2 Bot/Bot, reclaim bounty > ALL unique cards + 0-cost minor
- If you don’t already have one, eventually you will get a 0-cost minor to play as a 5th card.
- Reclaim, minor > ALL unique cards + 0-cost minor
Other Notes
After turn 5, you are in the reclaim loop. Between massive flooding and Flash Floods you can clear out a land every turn.
Eventually you will reach a turn that you don’t need to reclaim on - G3 there and gain a major. Flash Floods is a good forget candidate as it is overcosted. Resume the loop.

River needs lots of and in almost-equal amounts.
Getting a card that can replace flash floods is advantageous - will save energy over time.
