Build creatures and Landers together, then use extra land entries to turn pressure into damage and cards.
Commit when repeated useful cards and enough support make a complete deck in these colors.
Four checks while you draft
Can I affect the board before the payoff?
A three-mana creature supplies a Lander without giving up your board. The Lander needs two more mana to turn into a tapped basic land.
Do my actual cards enable this plan?
With Tannuk present, make a normal land play and activate a Lander. The second landfall resolution draws a card; Crasher receives another attack boost.
Can I stop their strongest play and finish a stalled game?
Build creatures and Landers together, then use extra land entries to turn pressure into damage and cards.
Choose the missing job before another reward that needs it.
The key card is present but its support is thin.
Prioritize useful support such as Galactic Wayfarer or Kav Landseeker.
With Tannuk present, make a normal land play and activate a Lander. The second landfall resolution draws a card; Crasher receives another attack boost.
Your deck already enables the plan but is losing the early turns.
Take a castable early creature or efficient answer before a second expensive payoff.
Landers cost two mana to activate. Ragost is a white splash, not an automatically castable red-green payoff.
The support is missing
Favor independently useful creatures and interaction if the narrow support does not arrive.
Repeated useful cards are clues, not proof that the colors are open.
Landers cost two mana to activate. Ragost is a white splash, not an automatically castable red-green payoff.
Remove the landfall payoff before the next land arrives. Attack while the opponent spends mana on Landers instead of adding another blocker.

Nova Hellkite 3RRIts printed haste makes warp a genuine immediate aerial attack, and the entry damage can finish a small or already damaged creature. Compare the three-mana temporary attack with paying five to retain the Dragon. Warp normally exiles it before the next opponent turn.
Possibility Technician 2RIts entry and later Kavu entries bank exiled cards without a turn deadline, provided you control a Kavu when playing them. Warp can supply an early card, but once it leaves you need another Kavu or must recast it before those cards are playable. Land plays still follow normal limits.
Warmaker Gunship 2RDeploy expendable artifacts before it when the extra entry damage changes a kill. The Gunship counts itself as an artifact, then needs six station counters before it is a flying creature. Keep blockers while charging it rather than relying on its future body immediately.
Ouroboroid 2GGIts first combat trigger grows your entire board, including itself, so cast it before combat and keep enough creatures to share the counters. Power changes before resolution affect the size of that reward; answer it before the first combat trigger when possible.
Celestial Colonnade A tapped white-blue land becomes a flying vigilant threat for five mana. It can tap for mana after attacking because vigilance kept it untapped, but activating it does not protect it from creature removal. Do not animate a land that entered this turn and expect it to attack.17Lands Premier Draft ↗ · Jul 29–Sep 1, 2025 · 100-instance minimum
Icecave CrasherTrample makes extra landfall power useful through small blockers. A Lander activation can add another trigger, including during combat.
Frontline War-Rager
Diplomatic RelationsUse a substantial creature to damage an opposing one. Both targets must remain legal for the damage; exposing your only good creature can let removal defeat the spell.
Bombard
Galactic WayfarerA three-mana creature supplies a Lander without giving up your board. The Lander needs two more mana to turn into a tapped basic land.
Kav LandseekerMenace adds pressure while its Lander can set up another landfall. That token expires at the end step on your next turn, so budget its activation before then.

| With one pick, fill the missing early play, answer or support card before adding another narrow payoff. The plan must work without drawing its key card. | Compare complete builds from the cards you opened. Keep the castable curve and interaction even if the draft theme is only partly supported. |
