: Artifact creatures / artifacts

• Using creatures like Arcbound Shikari and Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer, play an aggro game with artifact tokens like Thopters supplemented with equipment. Barbed Spike and Lightning Spear let you get value out of equipment, while creatures like Goldfury Strider and Adaptive Gemguard turn extra artifacts into gas for your creatures. Red and white in general play off of artifacts and have more artifact creatures than any color, so use them to your advantage to beat your opponent down with value.

: Go tall / Auras

• With the help of evasive and sticky creatures like Ascended Lawmage, your auras and equipment will be hard to deal with. Value creatures in both colors like Danitha Capashen, Paragon and Triton Fortune Hunter will help you stick enchantments. Dog Umbra and Starlit Mantle help you dodge removal until powerful modifiers like Invocation of St. Traft let you run away with the game.

: Creature tokens

• Queen Allenal of Ruadach rules over the many creature tokens in Green and White, a color focused on going wide. Populate is a powerful mechanic that lets you clone tokens, so pick up big ones on cards like Trostani's Summoner, and then use tricks like Rootborn Defenses to reward you for building up your field.

: Knights and recursion

• There are plenty of knights in both Black and White, with many being great pickups on value alone like Knight of Dusk's Shadow and Knight of Meadowgrain. Cards like Knight Exemplar at uncommon reward you heavily for fielding Knights, and more specific cards like Breathless Knight combo cleanly with Helping Hand to recur your cheap Knights. This archetype dips into enchantments and other graveyard synergies, so each Knight deck might look a little different.

: Madness
: Defender mill / control
: Delirium
: Instants and sorceries
: Elementals
: Flash / big spells matter

PREMIUM removal for 1 mana should be at common. Generally, removal should be uncommon if it has potential to gain card advantage or can easily 2-for-1 an opponent. Instant hard removal at 1 mana like Path to Exile has potential to give a lot of value when played correctly.
