This would also work with Elemental Summoning (see Commons), creating 2x 4/4 Elementals instead. Pulling these off turn 5 is obviously a dream scenario, but they are powerful plays representing huge advantages at any point in the game. Rootha in particular feels hugely impactful, blocking early and doubling stuff late. I won’t be double-dipping and putting signpost cards in the Best Uncommons section, but Rootha is an example of one you can definitely imagine being there as well. Best UncommonsĪs mentioned earlier, the Uncommons in these colors are great. Both Prismari ones represent great card advantage, and Mentor’s Guidance continues that trend as an upgraded Divination. Most creatures you are going to run in these colors qualify you to double-Opt with this spell, which triggers all of your Magecraft stuff twice. Doing so with a Storm-Kiln Artist in play for instance generates a pair of Treasure tokens, powering it up and enabling a huge turn later. Both Learn spells in these colors are excellent. Igneous Inspiration is perhaps the best Uncommon in the set, and while Divide By Zero notably misses creature tokens (mascots), it still presents a crucial tempo swing which enables you to spend that extra turn to safely cast the Lesson it fetches. Taken as a whole, these effectively extend the synergies present in the signposts. If the format ends up being as slow as it appears to be, Prismari is situated really well to capitalize. Every college can generate card advantage from the Learn/Lesson mechanic, but none like Prismari. Pure card advantage spells can be an insurmountable boon in slower formats, and Prismari is stacked in this regard. Even more, where Izzet could often draw a bunch of cards but fail to find something substantial enough to actually win the game, Prismari does not look to have this issue. We need only take a glance at some of its Commons to find strong evidence of this: Important CommonsĤ/4 Elementals are going to be a force to be reckoned with in this set. Strixhaven is a format with fairly weak creatures, and many decks are going to need to stack-block to deal with 4/4’s. Green decks have a few options as expected, but their best options aren’t ideal:
Master Symmetrist is a premium Uncommon, and still trades with Elementals. Bayou Groff is looking to be one of the best Commons and costs 5 mana or a creature to cast, only to trade with an Elemental. Quandrix’s Fractals are the only mascot which can go bigger than Prismari, but even then they need 6 mana to match the Elementals.
Let’s be honest though, Elemental Summoning is likely to be a premium Common and difficult to find multiples of. Even so, Prismari has other finishers at its disposal.
