Sequencing
Resolve the enabler first, then Surfent. Triggers in this game check their condition at the moment they resolve, so a condition established afterwards does nothing.
Turn structure to plan around
Each turn runs Stand Up, Draw, Soul, Main and End. Assignments and deploys happen in the Main phase, so plan the assignment you want a full turn ahead.
Curve
On the play, aim to have ◇2 and ◇3 bodies down before the EBP01-037 turn so you are never trading tempo for the engine.
Mulligan rules of thumb
Keep any opening hand with two lands of the curve plus a route to Surfent. Ship hands that are all ◇5 or higher — this format punishes slow starts.
Common misplay
The most common error with Surfent is committing it into open removal. Bait the answer with a cheaper threat first when the matchup shows removal.
