Zendikar Rising, Episode 8: Rogues Week
 
Thieves' Guild Enforcer doesn't look like much, but the sneaky 1-drop has begun to prove its chops across Magic's formats. What began as a mini renaissance for delver strategies has blossomed into full-on Rogues tribal with the advent of Zendikar Rising. So what exactly is a Rogues deck, and which Rogues are strong enough to make the cut? We've got a few different builds for Modern and Pioneer, so let's find out in the queues!

Zendikar Rising, Episode 7: Luminarch Aspirant
 
Alright, we admit it: we've been known to bag on the color White in the past. We called it the worst color for constructed, and even dedicated a whole episode to seven bad white cards from Core 2021. Wizards vowed to improve the color's fortunes, even promising that Zendikar Rising would contain powerful White cards. And you know what? They delivered!
 
With Skyclave Apparition currently the darling of Modern, we're taking a week to highlight another strong creature that is still mostly flying under the radar. Luminarch Aspirant may not look like much, but it is quietly putting up 5-0s in both Modern and Pioneer. This is perhaps the largest standalone 2 drop White has ever seen, and it synergizes with +1/+1 counters and Human tribal to boot. Don't sleep on it!

Zendikar Rising, Episode 6: Magmatic Channeler
 
For months we've been trying to break the curse of Dreadhorde Arcanist: a red creature that you can add to any deck, no matter how powerful, and immediately go 2-3 in a league. Is Magmatic Channeler the one we've been waiting for? David thinks so, but his colleagues will need some convincing. The only way to find out is in the queues!
