Bombs in these colors
Valley Questcaller 1WStrongest with enough Rabbits, Bats, Birds or Mice. It improves those other creatures and scries as they arrive.
Warren Warleader 2WWWorks on an existing wide board and can also make its own attackers. Pay offspring when you can afford the extra two mana for another attack trigger.
Maha, Its Feathers Night 3BBMakes opposing creatures fragile and attacks through the air. Damage and small toughness reductions become much more effective while Maha stays in play.
Season of Loss 3BBChoose the mode combination for the board. Sacrificing creatures first can increase the following draw mode, but the sacrifice affects you too.
Sword of Fire and Ice 3Fits any colors but needs a creature and equip mana. An evasive carrier makes its damage and draw trigger far more reliable.17Lands Premier Draft ↗ · Jul 30–Sep 3, 2024 · 100-instance minimum
