Since the peasant level is notorious for power outliers, I've broken my list down into several tiers to help paint a clearer picture of where I stand on each.

• Tier : Egregious power outliers with nearly no chance of being unbanned.
  • Sol Ring
  • Skullclamp
  • Ancient Tomb
  • Library of Alexandria
  • Strip Mine & Wasteland
  • All cards with the Initiative mechanic
• Tier : Proven problematic or unfun cards with minimal chances of being unbanned unless drastic changes occur.
  • Palace Jailer
  • Force of Will
  • Mana Drain
  • Gut, True Soul Zealot
  • Cards with the Monarch & Buyback mechanics
• Tier : Closely-watched cards that might prove too powerful, unfun, or problematic for the environment.
  • Mother of Runes
  • Reanimate, Animate Dead & Dance of the Dead
  • Demonic Tutor
  • Hymn to Tourach
  • Curse of Predation
  • Isochron Scepter
  • Grafted Wargear
  • Fire Covenant

I've opted to loosen up archetypes a bit to maximize player creativity and freedom during the draft and to allow for emergent archetypes to take shape over time. This means that while fixing is abundant enough to enable 4+ color decks when prioritized, decks will still most commonly be 2 or 3 colors. Below are some examples of the themes that can come together in each 3-color combination:

Blink & Bounce | Control | Flyers

Draw-2 Tempo | Control | Spells Matter

Aristocrats | Gravebreak Recursion | Midrange | Reanimator

Aggro | Modified Tokens

Blink & Bounce | ETB Midrange

Aristocrats | Reanimator | Weenie Recursion

Draw-2 Tempo | Spells Matter | Tokens

Gravebreak Recursion Reanimator

Aggro | Aristocrats | Tokens

Big Spells | Power Matters

Persist Combo
