House rules

• Basics are snow-covered (for Arcum's Astrolabe, Icehide Golem, Ice-Fang Coatl)
• Field of the Dead and Gifts Ungiven players can have a non snow land of each basic (for the different name clause)
• Birthing Pod promotion: Draft one, get one free
• Gnarled Professor is packaged with all the lessons in sideboard
• Cogwork Librarian is artificially seeded on first pack and can also be exchanged for a random un-drafted card at the end (hence 451)

Archetypes Aggro White Weenie Humans

Typical WW with a small humans subtheme with Champion of the Parish and Thalia's Lieutenant. Recommended with a touch of disrupt (Thalias, Elite Spellbinder, Armageddon, or can help too).

Red Deck Wins

Good old RDW, you already know what this is about

Tempo Elves Oppo

Classic

Tempo Prowess/Spells Matter

Aggro oriented with prowess creatures (Monastery Swiftspear, Soul-Scar Mage, Dragon's Rage Channeler, Abbot of Keral Keep, Heartfire Immolator).
Or more interactive tempo with a spell matter cards (Delver of Secrets, Pteramander, Dreadhorde Arcanist, Young Pyromancer, Third Path Iconoclast, Monastery Mentor).
Either way, emphasis on virtual free spells for a swingy turn: Mutagenic Growth, Gitaxian Probe, Manamorphose, Mishra's Bauble, Snap

Emissary's Ploy

Get creative. As inspiration here are some successful implementations of it :
on 1 : Counters with Isamaru, Hound of Konda, Zurgo Bellstriker, Diregraf Ghoul, ...
on 3 : Humans with Judith, the Scourge Diva and Eternal Witness
on 3 : Mana Elves with Benalish Marshal, Geralf's Messenger, Goblin Rabblemaster, ...

/ Aristocrats/Stax

Recursive threat Gravecrawler, Bloodsoaked Champion, Dread Wanderer, Bitterblossom, Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia, Bloodghast, Ophiomancer
Permanant efficent cards Thraben Inspector, Blade Splicer, Lingering Souls, Elspeth, Knight-Errant, Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, Sorin, Lord of Innistrad, Secure the Wastes, Hangarback Walker
Some way to profit of sacrificing them : Goblin Bombardment, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Priest of Forgotten Gods, Skullclamp, Carrion Feeder
or Braids, Cabal Minion, Smokestack

Midrange Pod Nightmare

ETB and toolbox abuse

Blink

Lots of overlap with pod nightmare due to being interested in good ETBs
Often paired with green for elves, Thragtusk being a perfect target to blink and Eternal Witness (especially with Ephemerate)

Lands

Aggro denial: Early acceleration (elves or moxen) into Strip Mine/Wasteland and ways to recur it (Wrenn and Six, Life from the Loam, Crucible of Worlds, Ramunap Excavator)
Midrangy value: Elvish Reclaimer, Knight of the Reliquary or Golos, Tireless Pilgrim with Field of the Dead game plan and toolbox ability Karakas, Conqueror's Foothold, Maze of Ith, Blast Zone
Control-ish: Life from the Loam/Land Tax with Seismic Assault/Forbid
Combo-esque: Fastbond with Courser of Kruphix, Oracle of Mul Daya or draw 7's

Control The Rock

The usual discard + removal + card advantage (
Dark Confidant, Phyrexian Arena, Tireless Tracker, Night's Whisper, planeswalkers or even Seasons Past + Dark Petition)
Can play for more card advantage or play for more removal.

Control

The ancestral card advantage + mass removal. And eventually finding a some way to kill with counterspell back up.

Ramp Big Mana

Artefact mana (signets) and the "one shot" ones (Grim Monolith and Basalt Monolith) for a big Jokulhaups or Upheaval turn or any other big payoff.
Also help breaking the symmetry of Balance in addition to maybe Greater Gargadon, Mons's Goblin Waiters and planeswalkers.

Regular Green Ramp

Watch out for Natural Order =D

Combo Storm

Setp 1: Generate mana (Lion's Eye Diamond, Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Seething Song, Turnabout)
Step 2: Generate some more via flashback (Yawgmoth's Will, Underworld Breach)
or going back to Step 1 (Wheel of Fortune, Time Spiral, Timetwister, Memory Jar)
Step 3: Cast Brain Freeze or Tendrils of Agony
High emphasis on tutors and card selection (Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Mystical Tutor, Dark Petition, Preordain, Ponder, ...)

Hide Tide

Step 1: Ramp (Explore, Farseek, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Search for Tomorrow, Kodama's Reach, Solemn Simulacrum, Fastbond, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove)
Step 2: Double mana (High Tide, Heartbeat of Spring, Mirari's Wake)
Step 3: Untap lands (potentially an infinite amount of times) (Palinchron, Snap, Frantic Search, Turnabout, Treachery, Time Spiral, Rude Awakening)
Step 4: Profit (Brain freeze, Stroke of Genius)

Reanimator

Step 1: Put a monster in the bin (Cryptbreaker, Stitcher's Supplier, Entomb, Collective Brutality, Liliana of the Veil, Night's Whisper(on the draw), Careful Study, Jace, Vryn's Prodigy, Chart a Course, Compulsive Research, Gifts Ungiven)
Step 2: Reanimate it (Animate Dead, Exhume, Life//Death, Necromancy, Unburial Rites, Karmic Guide, Elspeth Conquers Death)
and can have some good tools too (Faithless Looting, Seasoned Pyromancer, Survival of the Fittest, Fauna Shaman)

Jeskai Ascendancy Combo

(I know it's already 5 colors in the first two cards..)
Bunch of cheap spells, cantrips and whatnots with Jeskai Ascendancy and mana dorks (Sylvan Caryatid, Birds of Paradise, ..) on board. Or even better animated lands (Life // Death, Llanowar Loamspeaker, Rude Awakening, Treetop Village, ..)
Can use a storm spell to kill, swinging with pumped dorks and lands works as well.

Mesmeric Orb self mill

Breaking the symmetry by having a deck that cannot be milled because of Kozilek, Butcher of Truth or Nexus of Fate
Sometimes as fodder for flashback type shenanigans with Underworld Breach or Yawgmoth's Will and ways to buy it back Sevinne's Reclamation
Or simply being interested in dumping your whole deck in the bin (with Basalt Monolith sometimes)(Thassa's Oracle, Unburial Rites)

Oath of Druids

Oath of Druids and what ever creature you feel like NOT casting.
Will also be a source of graveyard fuel (Sun Titan, Lier, Disciple of the Drowned, Torrential Gearhulk or crazier non creature strategy)
