Antiquities on the Loose 1WWTwo substantial bodies early, with a larger team when flashed back. Its double-white costs reward a reliable white base.
Practiced Offense 2WRewards a wide board with lasting counters and a combat keyword. The cheap flashback can repeat the attack upgrade on a later turn.
Stirring Hopesinger 2WFlying and lifelink already help a race; creature-targeting spells then grow your whole team. Prioritize a board and cheap repartee enablers.
Winds of Abandon 1WCheap targeted exile early or a one-sided creature sweep with overload. The opponent gets basic lands, so plan to use the open attack immediately.
Emeritus of Ideation 3UUA protected flyer with a prepared draw-three spell. Leave one blue mana available for Ancestral Recall after deploying it if possible.
Together as One 6A powerful converge payoff only with several colors of mana. Draft fixing first; six mana of one color gives a much smaller result.17Lands Premier Draft ↗ · Apr 21–Jun 2, 2026 · 100-instance minimum
Elite InterceptorA one-mana creature with a later prepared spell that can tap a blocker or untap a defender while drawing.
Quill-Blade LaureateAn early double striker with a prepared spell that can give a different attacker double strike for a turn.
