It’s a fine card, but so many of the white decks in the format are beatdown decks and don’t want too many copies of a reactive card. Rise Again gets a mention here as even though not ever deck wants this card, the ones that do really want it. While core sets of yore were generally about jamming as much power into your deck as you could to offset the few junkers you’d inevitably end up with, that hasn’t really been the case since M19 ushering in the new era of core sets, and I don’t think it’s the case with M21. The weakness of Shrine decks is also their strength: nobody else can get value from them. I could confidently tell someone drafting M21 for the first time “If Blue and Red are open, just take the good cards and your deck will be effortlessly synergistic.”. Make lots of creatures if you’re Boros in M21 because you’ll need them. Cards have feelings too, try not to hurt them. This is what I assumed going into the set, but upon further inspection, GW is the deck that has the highest density of cards that enable waking up the Tyrannodon.

One particular rare in M21, Pack Leader, stands out as a top doggo to draft around. Draw a little with Frantic Inventory or draw a lot with Read the Tides.

Payoffs come in green in the form of Gnarled Sage, Burlfist Oak, and the deck’s signpost, Lorescale Coatl. Crash Through may seem out of place over something like Shock or Chandra’s Magmutt but it’s the glue that holds a lot of the Red decks together and I want multiples if I can get them. Limited Resources 530 - Drafting Aggro in Theros Beyond Death 02/06/2020.

Gain three by using cards like Revitalize or take risks with Tavern Swindler. This archetype includes some of the set’s biggest monsters, and many of them have trample or another format of evasion.

Roaming Ghostlight is good on offence and defence, Mistral Singer is a scary card in a format with multiple one mana can-tripping spells and Opt is a key part to UR and UG while being a decent card everywhere else. This deck archetype is always around in Standard in one form or another, and is well positioned in the meta when there are an abundance of slower and greedier decks to keep them in check. Feat of Resistance is another great aggressive tool, this isn’t your average combat trick and your white decks are happy with three of these. GW, RW, and UW are all very strong decks and my pick for the next best group of decks in the format after UR. Mid-game token plays like Valorous Steed and Falconer Adept are also welcome.
