Best deck

Blue decks that use card flow, rest effects and tempo to control combat and want more consistent access to key cards.

Use the card where its printed effect supports the deck's existing plan.

Copies to test

Start with 2–3 copies, then adjust after tracking how often it is useful in opening and mid-game hands.

Adjust only after recording how often it is useful in real opening and midgame hands.

How to play Elphidran Aqua

Place Elphidran Aqua — Gentle Ripples on the curve where its 6-Soul cost does not block the deck's next important play.
Resolve the deploy ability before combat, then use the changed board state to choose attacks and assignments.
After deployment, decide whether attacking, blocking or staying available for an assignment produces the most value this turn.

Watch for: Do not judge the card only by its best-case effect. Compare the Soul cost, required target and opportunity cost with another card at the same point on the curve.
