Other foretell cards will often announce what you likely have in hand, like Iron Verdict. Some foretell cards are among the best in the format. Sometimes it ends up costing more to yield a more powerful effect, like with Poison the Cup.įoretell is likely the defining mechanic of the format that will separate the good players from the great. It occasionally ends up saving mana like with Scorn Effigy. This typically results in paying the same mana cost of the card but being able to split up the payment, like Sarulf's Packmate.

I know the cards in this format are infamously wordy ( Cosima, God of the Voyage has 104 words of rules text between the two sides), but the broad strokes of the format are at least a little simpler. Hopefully, by the end of this article, I’ll be able to help you get a well-rounded understanding of the format and make it a little less daunting. Snow decks typically look to stall the game until they can play their bombs and trust me, they will have bombs.Īggro decks are instead looking to play cheap creatures, cheap equipment with cheap equip costs, and combat tricks to continue to push damage. These highlight the fact that you’re going to constantly run into Snow and aggro decks. This consists of a good mix of creatures, removal, and card advantage.Ībout 80 drafts into the format, there are two things I am absolutely sure of: it’s hard to go wrong going all in on a Snow deck, and Run Amok is the real deal. The rest of the time you want to draft a deck that would be considered “normal” in most formats. Another third of the time you want to be aggressive about drafting combat tricks and equipment. Kaldheim is a unique format in that you should be drafting 8+ lands in about one third of the drafts that you play. Are you a fan of drafting 5-color piles? Do you like to take multiple turns to cast a spell? Do you like massive blocks of text on your Magic cards? Well boy, do I have the format for you! Welcome, everyone, to one of the wildest formats in recent memory. Sarulf's Packmate | Illustration by Ilse Gort
