This mirror-adjacent matchup revolves around artifact sacrifice synergies (Cleansing Wildfire, Ichor Wellspring, Fanatical Offering), so Duress proactively strips a key engine piece like Cleansing Wildfire before it resolves. Faerie Macabre's discard-to-exile ability disrupts their graveyard value. Campfire and Tithing Blade are too passive against a deck built to out-grind incrementally, and one Suffocating Fumes is trimmed since threats like Writhing Chrysalis survive -1/-1.
