Buccaneer’s Bravado was a good incentive to play a lot of Pirates, but this definitely was not a Pirate deck. I cannot overstate how important it is to make sure your deck enables a given theme or mechanic. Easily the best of all the Elder Dinosaurs, Etali combines a frightening, potentially overpowering ability, with a low CMC. These cards are good filler as long as they fit into your overall theme. Conventional wisdom says do not pick gold cards early on, but if you don’t take risks sometimes you will miss out on great cards like him. Some of those are really great, but the problem is they often come out when the cards are in a vacuum and aren’t updated based on the meta or over/under performance. Cherished Hatchling can bring out Imperial Ceratops or Overgrown Armasaur to kill something and then gain life or make a saproling. Players can't activate planeswalkers' loyalty abilities. We haven't really seen many cards come out of recent sets that have made the transition to modern, but this will be one of them. Welcome to another exciting edition of Magic: The Gathering Top 10. To be honest, I don’t like these cards very much in general. Ultimately, if you can assemble at least six cards that can be stars in your deck and build the rest of the deck around those, you are (pretty much) guaranteed to have a solid opening hand each game.

Most Golgari decks run off the graveyard, and you are constantly discarding your own cards to make your own creature and commanders stronger. Buy this card.

Aggressive Urge is in here for the same reason. Portions of the materials used are property of Wizards of the Coast. I opened Zetalpa pack 1 and said **** it, I am going to build around this thing. **Note**. But, if you match up with Azorius cheap flyers or Atzocan Archer with a hand full of Revenants, you’re going to have a bad time. If I am going to draft a high curve creature deck, I need to see some bombs early. I included some cantrip creatures such as Dire Fleet Hoarder and Dusk Legion Zealot that don’t mind attacking into their death with Horncrest if necessary. It didn’t hurt that this deck also contained the single best card in the format. Ixalan is not usually not 3-color friendly but this deck shows how to pull it off: The real MVP in this deck is Sailor of Memes.

I got away with 16 lands despite a high curve because I drafted two mana dorks and two mana ramp spells: I think these cards give you a good idea of the gameplan: mana ramp into bombs. Dropping Knight of the Stampede turn 3 (with mana ramp) allows me to absolutely flood the board turn 4 with 1 mana Orazca Frillbacks or Territorial Hammerskull.

Ravnica) this would be a bad card. If your opponent has no answer it can win you games by itself. Deeproot waters isn’t always a good card, but in this deck it is awesome.

This time, we are looking at the small set release of the Ixalan block: Rivals of Ixalan. 12/12 Legendary Creature - Elder Dinosaur, Angrath, Minotaur Pirate (Foil - Planeswalker Deck), Vraska, Scheming Gorgon (Foil - Planeswalker Deck). Finally, it has no color identity, which is something we should thank Wizards for. I had a really good run when I wrote this, quickly climbing to #6 Mythic with these decks. Obviously the decks you draft won’t be able to include the exact same cards (especially rares), but I think you can form a solid understanding of what kinds of cards are important to support each archetype and get a general idea of their game plan. The most relevant mechanic in this format is Ascend, which has cards that reward having 10 permanents on the board. Rivals of Ixalan (R) Legendary Enchantment Whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player, create a colorless Treasure artifact token with " , Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool." Having 8 removal spells is what felt unfair most games, and they included Repeating Barrage which is a perfect rare for this archetype. For example, you have this card: This is a good card in an aggro deck, even though at best it is an elephant. This is how I would suggest handling a GW deck. For the unaware, Ixalan focuses on four tribes, Vampires, Merfolk, Dinosaurs, and Pirates. I really love drafting all of these except Mutiny. It also has great synergy with the ascend mechanic, which I will discuss more in a minute. Whenever World Shaper attacks, you may mill three cards. If you draft a deck like this, remember that even though there are only 14 creatures they are imperative to you winning. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. It was my favorite because it is a good example of turning decent cards into great cards with some basic synergy. Tap another untapped Merfolk you control: Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca can't be blocked this turn. If they just block the Zealot you still get 5 damage through and you can then save the Zealot if you need him to help Horncrest attack next turn, or let him go and play your next layer of attack in your 2nd main. Or, it might end up a 50 cent bulk rare, who knows. Elephants are good in weak formats. So, I propose a better strategy: No, that it isn’t an acronym or anything, just the idea that your cards must work together in meaningful ways. So, while I would want almost none of these guys in a deck that takes them out of this context, within the theme of this deck they are all actually pretty great.

One reason for this is that the tap lands are uncommon. I don’t usually play Recover but it gave me a second chance at going off with Lurking Chupacabra if my opponent had an answer. Rivals of Ixalan features plenty of cards sure to shake up the standard format as well as become EDH staples. For only 5 mana, being able to constantly bring back any creature from your graveyard would make a Timmy player proud. The set contains 196 cards (5 basic lands, 70 common, 60 uncommon, 48 rare, and 13 mythic rare) and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. Having 2x Crashing Tide and a Run Around helped with the overall tempo/bounce theme of this deck. This deck has a lot of ‘legs’ with card draw and bonus creatures, so this is not a deck where we need to end the game quickly. This archetype looks to stabilize the board and then chip away with flyers. Similarly, you may draft cards with really good raid abilities, but if you don’t support those with cards that can attack without dying (i.e. Considering the price of Fatal Push, an uncommon card is about eight dollars a copy, expect this Rare card to be even more.

Couple this with Fireball, Axis of Mortality, or Azor and go to town. However, you’ll notice this is one of the first decks I drafted when I was still getting out of Platinum. None of these creatures are terribly exciting, but each perform their role well in this deck.

In Ixalan there are a lot of playable cards in every color. Ixalan is a Magic: The Gathering expansion block consisting of the sets Ixalan and Rivals of Ixalan. First off, yes this thing actually did go 7-0. Forerunner of the Heralds is here because it finds Mistbinder (or Jadelight Ranger if you already have it). If the aggro/combat tricks didn’t get there or this combo never came into play/got shut down, Strength of the Pack was a fantastic alternate win condition. Still, I find it a fun card, and one that will certainly go into many EDH decks. As I mentioned, this draft I took a chance on Zetalpa pack one, and was very lucky to open Tendershoot Dryad pack 2, and see Thundering Spineback early pack 3.
