Power and cunning. Resource advantages in multiple ways. Constantly seeking refinement and improvement. An ever-expanding slate of options. These are the traits of a Simic mage. Tag along as I do my very best not to wax hyperbolic about what’s become the most powerful base color combination in the game of Magic!

Creativity. Experimentation. Enthusiasm. Collaboration. These are the qualities that define the Izzet League, as well as the real-life mages that wield their power. We dive into the core identity of what it means to really wield blue and red mana, and to really get in League with the Izzet!

Bound by honor, a sense of duty, and the oaths they took when they joined, the Boros Legion act as the de facto police force and military for the plane of Ravnica. What about the in-game stylings? While they don’t have the best pedigree on the competitive scene, Boros decks still serve a key role in the average set’s design, and offer a ton of options to someone who wants a unique approach to their next Commander project. Also, just becuase it’s not “good” doesn’t mean it isn’t fun.

We’re back this week to take a look at the Orzhov Syndicate, a bizarre hybrid of churches and banks. Longevity, a level of ruthlessness, and a willingness to use every resource at their disposal make up the psyche of an Orzhov mage, but the competitive viability is based on something else entirely! Let’s see things in Black and White this week!

Secrets and stealth over power and might. Subversion and finesse over raw brute strength. Playing to control what matters, not trying to control everything. This is the way of House Dimir. This week, we’re taking a deep dive into the guild that doesn’t exist!

I know we all need an escape from the election, so I wanted to spend this week talking about the Azorius Senate: a bunch of meddling, bureaucratic, squabbling, regulation-driven, procedure-worshipping politicians……… Ok, fine, it’s a little on the nose for this week, but let’s just look at the guild that can’t help but want to control you!

Not Gruul? Then die! Despite their boorish exterior, there’s more to the Gruul Clans than meets the eye.  While it’s no secret they love to smash, there’s always more going on if you’re willing to find it! Besides, it’s not just THAT we smash…. It’s HOW we smash!

Beginning a series looking into the lore, mechanical identities, and overall gameplay approach of each color combination, by popular demand, we begin with the Cult of Rakdos. More than just a pile of removal and disruption, this color pair does a lot more than it lets on! From aggressive synergies, value engines, and even just piles of awesome Magic cards, Rakdos gives a lot of options to the aspiring brewer.

One of the most-maligned, most exaggerated archetypes of all times is Draw-Go. Believed to be nothing more than a pile of counterspells and a couple of win conditions, and difficult to play, the truth is much simpler. It’s an archetype that rewards format knowledge, patience, and commitment to concept. Similar to Red Aggro decks, you’re actually frequently operating with worse cards than your opponents, and trying to dictate the terms of engagement to your opponent. We’ll be looking at it as I share my list for Standard this week!
