I’ve mentioned some of the cards that are situational to each archetype above, but here are some others that haven’t been mentioned yet.Īrch of Orazca is a pretty low-risk addition to any deck, but it does incur a real cost, since it only produces colorless mana and its activation is pretty pricey.
