Here are a couple non-trophy decks that followed this theory. Fortress Kin-guard does a nice job of setting up Trade Route Envoy to draw to find Craterhoof or Nature’s Rhythm (to find Craterhoof). 7/12 #WotCStaff - ThreadSky

I was excited about Smile at Death on Appraisers and Stags as a finisher, but in practice it was usually too slow to catch up as opposed to bombs with more immediate impact.

Now for the aggro portion. Coming into the format I was very excited to build decks around Champion of Dusan. Wow did it deliver with 5x Champion leading to a mono green 7-0.

I first picked a Synch Charge hoping to wheel a Champ in the pack, when I did I knew it was on!

This deck had solid rares. But it was less streamlined than the 5x Champ masterpiece, and often didn't compete with the power of 3+ color decks.

Going forward if I start drafts with Champion of Dusans I’ll keep an eye open for if white or red happen to be the right support color.

WU aggro worked when I started with early Sibsig Appraisers, and then see Stormbeacon Blade and Sunpearl Kirins late.

Appraiser smooths out the white based aggro plan. Humbling Elder and Ringing Strike Mastery are valuable as 1 mana tempo plays which white otherwise lacks.

Not having worked on the set much I wanted to try a challenge run mostly for Bluesky content purposes. Was a lot of fun!

I love how this draft environment allocates power between mono and multicolor cards. It makes for many approaches and speeds to be viable.

Thanks for reading!
