I may update them and this article in a few weeks. These ratings mostly convey my first impressions, based on careful deliberation. I gave a Limited grade between 0 and 5 to every card (found in the column “Frank” in the linked sheet). To construct an aggregate ranking, I took the weighed average of the following normalized grades. If you start the draft with a God, then you have an incentive to go (nearly) mono-color if possible.

Warden of the Chained can’t attack unless you control another creature with power 4 of greater, so you want to pair it with a lot of big monsters. Commons that go up in value for this archetype are Venomous Hierophant, Relentless Pursuit, Voracious Typhon, and Underworld Charger. Acolyte of Affliction fuels escape by putting extra cards in your graveyard, so this is a graveyard-oriented archetype. Commons that go up in value for this archetype are Discordant Piper, Lampad of Death’s Vigil, Portent of Betrayal, and Omen of the Dead.īlack-Green: Escape. Slaughter-Priest of Mogis gets a boost when you sacrifice a permanent, and there are plenty of sacrifice synergies in this color combination. Commons that go up in value for this archetype are Nexus Wardens, Brine Giant, Ichthyomorphosis, and Omen of the Sea.īlack-Red: Sacrifice. Eutropia the Twice-Favored triggers whenever an enchantment enters the battlefield under your control, so this archetype wants to focus on enchantments.

Mischievous Chimera triggers whenever you cast your first spell during your opponent’s turn, and there are several other creatures with similar effects. (I wish blue had a good common escape card, but all we have is Sleep of the Dead, unfortunately.)īlue-Red: Draw-go.

Commons that go up in value for this archetype are Hero of the Pride, Hero of the Games, Omen of the Sun, and Infuriate. Hero of the Nyxborn is a good example, and it brings along a friend to receive the boost. In Theros Beyond Death, Heroes are creatures who temporarily boost the power of your team when the Hero is targeted with a spell. Commons that go up in value for this archetype are Mire’s Grasp, Dreadful Apathy, Aspect of Lamprey, and Heliod’s Pilgrim. Rise to Glory can return Auras from your graveyard, so you want to maximize Auras that end up in the graveyard.

Locking up the ground with high-toughness blockers and winning in the air will be the plan. Staggering Insight is best on a flier, which white and blue have plenty of.
