This is one of the weird in-between decks that’s trying to meld multiple themes and get value out of its graveyard while running a fundamentally midrange strategy. It needs a critical mass, and I don’t know if it can exist with another traditional Esper drafter taking your Mulldrifter s and Momentary Blink s, but it seems possibly better.
I also think there’s the potential for a more aggro-focused UW Blink deck, as Lyev Skyknight is a powerful downshift, and along with Aethersnipe and Relief Captain could lead to a focused archetype overall. There are a ton of enablers and payoffs at uncommon, but notably I don’t think the deck has much of its power at rare, which could be a good thing. Meanwhile, Aethersnipe is the main payoff at common, unless Sensor Splicer is a lot better than I think. On the enabler side, Momentary Blink has to pull a lot of weight at common, though Settle Beyond Reality might be better than it looks in a format with a lot of bombs. Furthermore, Streets of New Capenna is a bad sign for Wizards’ prowess in this balance, and I’m seeing some possible two-color aggro decks we’ll get to in the archetype breakdown which starts… right now.Īs traditional as this archetype is for Masters sets in particular, it feels a little off here, particularly in the rarity distribution. The problem is that there isn’t much beyond that, as Traveler's Amulet is bad in a Masters context and as good as bouncelands are, they’re uncommon. Yes, Cryptic Spires helps somewhat, but it’s not clear how much of an improvement this is over, say, a typical set with duals in the land slot (especially gainlands). On the other hand, there doesn’t appear to be nearly enough fixing to support three-color decks. On one hand, like most modern Masters Limited formats, there are a ton of interconnected synergies such that even though there are technically archetypes, the individual cards are more important overall. However, I’m worried this format is both a lot more and a lot less open than that implies. On the other hand, the Limited format is three-color-focused, with all ten three-color shards/wedges supported, and that’s what we’ll be focusing on here. On one hand, there are a ton of crazy reprints, whether it’s from Modern Horizons, all the old Commander precons, or multiple high-profile reprints from Portal: Three Kingdoms. Double Masters 2022 is the flashiest Masters set we’ve had in a while possibly ever.
