Mechanics | Skeleton | Rules Modifications | Colour Identities | Archetypes |
White
- Go wide with tokens (Homesteading, Crusade of Grace). Use them to pay blessing costs (Angelic Intervention), or help creature count matters cards (Dawnmane Lion).
- Bant-style solo beats, where prayer creatures ((((Serra Disciple)))) all stack onto one guy who gets a bonus for attacking alone ((((Benalish Skirmisher)))).
- Gain life (Farah's Devoted), then take advantage of life gain matters cards (Favoured Harvest).
Blue
- Cast noncreature spells (Crashing Waves, Spreading Absentia) to tick up your Cephalids (Riptide Apprentice)
Black
- Balance coloured mana requirements against card power with ecocide (Slitherscourge).
- Process your creatures (Famished Crocodile) to get essence counters for the Cephalids ((((Riptide Extractor)))). Sacrifice the leftover Zombies (Corpseyard Lurker) before they sacrifice themselves.
- Get bonuses for putting creatures into your graveyard (Corpsegorger, Cephalid Exhumer).
Red
- Typical aggro approach (Lightning Entity, (((Molten Offensive)))) bolstered by Savage triggers ((((Barbarian Punisher))), (((Pyretic Truths)))).
- Mid-range beats (Khathran Enforcer, Caldera Prowler) with transformation triggers assisted through combat tricks (Volcanic Baloth, (((Will of the Clan)))).
- Mountainfall Shamans (Goblin Rockmage, (((Reckless Apprentice)))) that provide inevitability and board control in control decks.
Green
- Ramp (Krosan Journeyer) into fatties (Lifespring Colossus).
- Spread essence counters around ((((Wandering Ascetic)))). Give them to creatures that can use them ((((Wildheart Trumpeter)))), and trigger Symbiotic (Arbor Blessing).
- Get more Forest ETB triggers (Harrow, Krosan Crossroads) for your DFCs and treefolk (Adansonian Seedsower) and make more Saprolings.
Colourless
- Turn your own lands face down (Deadfield Wisp) to play your creatures faster (Windworn Phantom) and get other bonuses (Null Disciple).
- Nullify (Blank Jolt) your lands to decrease One with nothing costs, or your opponents lands to destabilise their mana base.
- Control your opponents board with various types of removal ((((Desecrated Graves))), Null Exposure, Hollow Gale).
