The Resolve or Dissolve Dilemma

Magic is nominally a one on one game. Magic (like poker) is quite literally mano a mano . However, there are actions you can take that will make it seem like an actual army has got your back. You’ll be able to read the future like an open book. Pull a Cassandra and tell people you’ve already won the tournament. They won’t believe you, of course. Through no small effort, you’ll get the skills and an arsenal that will serve you in any kind of setting.
