You lose Trail of Crumbs going this route, and there’s no way my first crack at the mana is optimal, but gaining the ability to just kill people with Craterhoof Behemoth replaces some of your inevitability with just raw power. Salvage digging deep to deposit Cauldron Familiars and Woe Striders in the graveyard is some welcome additional synergy to the deck, and even reanimating Mayhem Devil is no slouch in this strategy. I believe Jund Sacrifice best fits the bill for a generically good gameplan where the package can fit in effortlessly. One of the primary strengths of Abzan Rites back in the day was that it was a midrange deck first that had a solid gameplan of “just cast some strong stuff and maybe mana screw my opponent with Acidic Slime or generate value with Thragtusk” in addition to the over-the-top potential of Grisly Salvage + Unburial Rites. At the same time, it’s a better topdeck and a better redundant draw than the ‘Cleave. This isn’t exactly a problem but makes your best draws more susceptible to pinpoint removal, and as Ross noted moves the needle on incentives to go taller with a more Gruul-focused strategy.Ītarka’s Command flips the script, giving red decks a ton of goldfish power and closing speed.

The burn in Historic isn’t exactly weak, but the lack of density has always necessitated that lists are very creature-heavy and often need to lean on Embercleave for closing speed. Still, I do want to touch on them.Ītarka’s Command is certainly the more straightforward of the two. I’ll be brief when it comes to Atarka’s Command and Grisly Salvage for obvious reasons. Spoiler alert: there’s a lot of sweet stuff here. Todd and Sam did an overview of the Anthology as a whole. Ross covered Atarka’s Command, and Gerry Grisly Salvage. There’s already been some good discussions from my coworkers last week. is a big deal and will make the games more dynamic and more fun to play from both sides.Īnywho, let’s talk Historic Anthology 5 and what I’ll be brewing with today: Being able to open more realistic interaction points, a significantly more costly amount of mana to execute (or requiring two turns) alongside planeswalker removal, bounce, etc. While it’s true that, with Tainted Pact remaining legal, the combination still exists with Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, I have a lot more faith in Pact simply remaining a viable option rather than being an oppressive point of the metagame. Thassa’s Oracle has been banned in Historic, so the Tainted Pact menace as we knew it is gone.
