![]() Professor’s Warning is the perfect counter to any removal spell that isn’t Rite of Extus or Bury in Books. In a deck where you’re most likely running 16 lands and lots of 2 and 3 drops, you want cheap spells to protect your creatures. The one drop spells, on the other hand, are vital for a few key reasons. Each one drop also provides some value later on in the game, whether it be an extra card, a lesson, or a 1/1 pest token. While they may be 1/1s, winning the die roll puts you miles ahead when you get 3+ damage in with your one drop. The creatures you want in your one-drop slot all have evasion: Unwilling Ingredient, Valentin, Eyetwitch. The One Drop Slot – One of the most important aspects about drafting Silverquill is maximizing your one-drops.(There was a fifth but I forgot to screenshot it!)Įach of these decks is a little different from the other, but there definitely is a pattern of what I’ve been successful with. Here are four of my most recent 7 win decks: That’s when I started trophying with Silverquill. But I do confess, “greatness at any cost.” If I was going to win in Strixhaven Limited I had to throw away my entire persona out the door and start fresh. ![]() I went to a g-d damn hippy Quaker school in Pennsylvania (which I love dearly) but I was never part of the “popular” crowd, or a poet laureate for that matter. Look, I did go to a private high school, but it was in no way preppy. After doing some research it became clear that unless your deck had lots of interaction and roadblocks, it could never overcome a fast start from an aggressive deck met with evasion. I had gotten to 7 wins once with a Quandrix deck, but every other attempt was a failure. Having previewed Aether Helix I was set on drafting cards like Eureka Moment, Field Trip, and† Quandrix Pledgemage alongside my coveted spoiler card. In Strixhaven, I had been biased to some of the more durdle-y ramp-style decks. After looking at data from, and some discussions on Twitter, I decided to try drafting white decks. Quick Draft is a great way to pay for cheap drafts while racking up gems and cards you’re missing in the set. Recently, I decided to binge quick drafting Strixhaven on Arena. Being able to play on the go on my Mac laptop has made my year in quarantine all the more interesting, and I’ve been able to draft a ton because of it. The best aspect about Arena, for me at least, is how accessible it is and how easy it is to go infinite. Limited, however, has been such a joy this past year. Historic has been plagued by various broken cards like Tainted Pact, so when that format has some updated bans I’ll revisit it, potentially. Modern and Pioneer are formats I play exclusively in paper, so that’s on hold for now too (don’t worry, I’ll be back to casting Lightning Bolts by the end of the year). I’ve yet to enjoy Standard since the constant banning of cards and unevenness of the format. But in all seriousness, I’ve been enjoying Limited the most out of all the Magic formats available to me right now.
