Turn 4: Swamp Exploding Borders for an Island and 5 damage swing with a 3/3 Wild Nacatl. Turn 3: Pop Armillary Sphere for a Forest and Swamp to your hand Forest Wild Nacatl (which is a 3/3). You pitch this, right? Wrong Turn 1: Plains. However, with this deck, you have explosive starts from 'bad' hands consider an opening hand that has the following: Plains, Mountain, Armillary Sphere, Wild Nacatl, Exploding Borders, Spore Burst, and Manaforce Mace. If you find your mana is a bit funny, the Spire is a great card to swap in to force the colors to work. Hand-in-hand in the abundant mana fixing is Rupture Spire, effectively a City of Brass that trades life payments for a tempo loss. Mana fixing this powerful and colorless gives you the phenomenal opportunity to set multiple colors in a hurry.

If you're looking to upgrade or try some tougher to cast domain stuff, try splashing in better lands and a few copies of some better cards: Fusion Elemental is great beats, Maelstrom Archangel is a finisher that can go the distance while keeping impressive pressure on the board, and the reflective pair of Paragon of the Amesha and Dragonsoul Knight serves as both early aggro and late-game winners.Īrmillary Sphere is more powerful than it might seem at first glance. Manaforce Mace, Spore Burst, and Wandering Goblins can all serve as finishing cards the Goblins can get very big very quick.

Other powerful domain commons, Might of Alara and Exploding Borders, are upgrades from existing commons ( Giant Growth, Rampant Growth, and Tribal Flames) that allow you to leverage more efficiency and keep applying pressure.

There's a lot going on in Conflux other than Bolas and shards merging. It's booster crackin' time and I have the lazy casual eye.īefore I highlight some cards individually, let's jump right into some decks that serve as a great segue into the new cards.

I'm certainly not a pro and I don't have the 'new secret tech' to bring to your local FNM from the set, but if you want to see what many of you should be trying to pick and why: I'm your guy. There are some certain tournament staples and the obligatory GRL (Good Rare Land), but a lot of the set seems geared right towards the 'Casual-Multiplayer-Budget-Minded Player' me and the group of casual gamers I play with most Thursdays.

Often, you come away with 'another jank rare' or 'Oh! Foil Mudhole! How awesome!' However it's those 'I just opened Rafiq!' and 'Sweet! I needed another copy of Wrath!' moments that bring us back (and keep us addicted).Ĭonflux is a mixed bag in terms of card quality. While mathematically it is often much more financially sound to instead buy play sets of cards on an as-needed basis, there just something about opening a booster and flipping to the rare (and hopefully foil as well!) slot(s) at the end of the pack. Admit it: you opened me and wanted Wrath.Many players love cracking boosters.
