Coercive Portal Coercive Portal is a weird case: a card that seems designed with multiplayer in mind, but one thats great in 1v1 since you're guaranteed one free draw per turn if you want (since homage wins if it's a tie)

You should also accelerate your mana with cheap, efficient cards, like Mox Diamond, Chrome Mox, Dark Ritual, and even the good old red mana dork, Ragavan Nimble Pilferer
