>>> ## WEDGES <<< >>> ### {B}{G/U} Sultai Goodstuff Reanimator {G/U}{B} <<< << [[!Titanoth Rex]][[!Zombify]][[!Striped Riverwinder]][[!Tomebound Lich]]>> This archetype is centered in {B}, and uses the full strength of the reanimator package. It seeks to cycle away early baddies, reanimate them in the midgame, and then either win outright with them or stall long enough to start hardcasting its fatties. These decks, often splashing 4 or 5 colors, are late game beasts, starting to drop haymakers on turn 4 and only getting bigger from there. >>> ### {G}{U/R} Temur Stompy Berserker {U/R}{G} <<< <<[[!Stealth Mission]] [[!Drowsing Tyrannodon]] [[!Blazing Crescendo]] [[!Regisaur Alpha]]>> This archetype is centered in {g}, and uses the color's trademark bigger-than-their-cost creatures to control the battlefield. It either wins outright with its bigger creatures, or finishes with a flurry of combat tricks and burn to combo-kill the opponent. >>> ### {U}{R/W} Jeskai Tempo Draw-2 {R/W}{U} <<< <<[[!Fists of Flame]] [[!Faerie Vandal]] [[!Cast Out]] [[!Skycat Sovereign]]>> This archetype is centered in {u} and uses the color's trickery to it's full extent, protecting its few threats with tricks and counter-magic, accruing value from spellcasting and cycling in the meantime. It often flies above the opponent, and can grow its fliers surprisingly fast for a quick combo finish. >>> ### {R}{W/B} Mardu Aggro Burn {W/B}{R} <<< <<[[!Snare Tactician]] [[!Drannith Stinger]] [[!Dead Revels]] [[!Rix Maadi Reveler]]>> This archetype, centered in {r}, is all about relentless agression. It takes full advantage of the cycling payoffs in both {w} and {r}, and couples it with small evasive creatures to overwhelm its opponent through sheer speed. It can then either use Spectacle and Bloodthirst payoff to keep the pressure up, or just cycle away to its burn spells or Zenith Flare for a finisher from hand. >>> ### {W}{B/G} Abzan Go-wide Prison {B/G}{W} <<< <<[[!Whisper Squad]] [[!Valiant Rescuer]] [[!Masked Vandal]] [[!Katilda, Dawnhart Prime]]>> The {w}-aligned archetype is the grindiest of them all, and it is all about maximizing small human creatures, chipping away at the opponent's ressources. The unsuspecting 1/1s can be sacrificed, tapped for value or for mana, slowing the game down to a crawl until their sheer number can outvalue the opponent. |Major Themes|Minor Themes| |:---:|:---:| |{B}{G} Graveyard {B}{G}|{B}{U} Control {B}{U}| |{G}{U} Monsters {G}{U}|{G}{R} Dinosaurs / power matters{G}{R}| |{U}{R} Draw-2 / Combat tricks {U}{R}|{U}{W} Flyers {U}{W}| |{R}{W} Cycling {R}{W}|{R}{B} Spectacle {R}{B}| |{W}{B} Humans Sac{W}{B}|{W}{G} Humans Onboard / +1 Counters{W}{G}| BG Reanimator GU Ramp UR Draw-2 RW Cycling WB Sacrifice
