Attack with a workable creature curve and turn warp casts or profitable sacrifices into stronger removal and growing threats.
Attack with a workable creature curve and turn warp casts or profitable sacrifices into stronger removal and growing threats.
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 cheap answer or finishing damage spell. Arrange a nonland departure or warp cast first when you need three damage rather than two.
Do my actual cards enable this plan?
Warp Red Tiger Mechan before combat. Its printed haste adds pressure, the warp cast upgrades Plasma Bolt, and void is ready for Skittermaw’s end step.
Can I stop their strongest play and finish a stalled game?
Attack with a workable creature curve and turn warp casts or profitable sacrifices into stronger removal and growing threats.
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 Plasma Bolt or Red Tiger Mechan.
Warp Red Tiger Mechan before combat. Its printed haste adds pressure, the warp cast upgrades Plasma Bolt, and void is ready for Skittermaw’s end step.
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.
A land leaving is insufficient for void, and most warp creatures lack haste. Read the actual permanent before planning an immediate attack.
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.
A land leaving is insufficient for void, and most warp creatures lack haste. Read the actual permanent before planning an immediate attack.
Force removal before void is enabled when possible. Remove the growing payoff before its end step instead of counting on countering a warped spell to turn void off.

Elegy Acolyte 2BBLifelink stabilizes, a connecting creature earns a card, and void can leave an extra Robot each end step. Arrange a nonland departure before the end step and keep enough attackers to threaten the combat-damage reward. The draw trigger is once per combat-damage event, not per creature.
Sunset Saboteur 1BMenace and a discard ward cost make this an awkward early threat, but each attack puts a counter on an opposing creature. Choose the least dangerous legal recipient and reconsider attacks that would grow their best blocker beyond your removal.
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.
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
Red Tiger MechanIts printed haste makes warp an immediate attack as well as void setup. Most other warp creatures do not have that haste; distinguish the card from the keyword.
Virus Beetle
Insatiable SkittermawA single qualifying departure before your end step grows this menace attacker. Sacrifice tokens deliberately rather than making a poor combat trade only to turn on void.
Kavaron SkywardenReach helps stabilize while repeatable void turns add counters. Qualify before the end step starts; a new departure after that point cannot create a missed trigger.
Examples apply the printed rules; judge the board, costs and timing.
