- This colour combo focuses on artifacts to defend the board early and prolong the game to be able to cast their techno-sorceries. The usual strategy is to draft for early tempo, defend well and be rewarded later through crafting your little critters into big bodies or powerful abilities!

The cards to look out for in these colours liken to Master's Guide-Mural, Thousand Moons Smithy, Market Gnome.

- The aristocrats gameplan for these colours allow for very aggressive early leads. Sacrifice permanents to gain value over time, thus being able to hit the descend and acquire more pressure.

The following cards perform well in this arrangement: Preacher of the Schism, Bartolomé del Presidio, Vanguard of the Rose.

- This mix leans into the aggro strategy as well, but prefers floods the board. This go-wide plan can work to deal combat damage or to be tapped by other game pieces to provide value.

Cards such as Tinker's Tote can create tokens for Sunshot Militia to ping, or go all in with Anim Pakal, Thousandth Sun.

- Couldn't Cook here

- The theme for Dimir is descending hard for late game value, control the early game while milling some cards into the bin. Then come out on top with large threats later on!

Fun cards to consider are The Ancient One, Starving Revenant, Council of Echoes.

- Not real

- Simic is making use of the explore mechanic. This reaches more for a midrange gameplan where your creatures get scarier with every exploration.

Cards to consider are Deepfathom Echoes, Nicanzil, Current Conductor, Glowcap Lantern.

- Rakdos is all about descending, triggering that by saccing creatures or mill and keeping secure through cheap creatures and removal.

This theme of descent is outlined through Molten Collapse, Fanatical Offering and Zoyowa, Lava-Tongue.

- This palette works to overpower in the midrange battle, milling your deck and getting tough beatdowns on the battlefield.

Cards like Akawalli, the Seething Tower, Basking Capybara become big bodies as your graveyard becomes filled.
