Events are available at your local game store and on Magic the Gathering Arena.In preparation for upcoming and eventual Fanwalker Fridays (or general asks and buffoonery), I am making this list of my Fanwalkers in order of creation. Innistrad: Midnight Hunt's prerelease runs from September 17-23, 2021. Fortunately, a lot of the big players in this archetype can kick the cycle off themselves, with Brutal Cathar, Celestus Sanctifier, Obsessive Astronomer, Sunrise Cavalier, and Gavony Dawnguard all making it day, and then giving you massive bonuses whenever it moves from day to night or vice-versa.įrom there, winning is just a matter of attacking a lot, casting enough buffing combat tricks to break through any defences, and keep it daytime to stave off any potential werewolves. For spells, Stolen Vitality, Raze the Effigy, Lunar Frenzy, Immolation, Flare of Faith, Ritual of Hope and Blessed Defiance are all really aggressively costed, letting you sling them out in combat with ease.Īs you'll be casting a lot of spells each turn, there's a high chance – particularly against a Werewolves player – that the day/night cycle will be changing a lot. Ranging from small boosts like Dawnhart Wardens and Ritual of Hope to bigger effects like Sungold Sentinel gaining hexproof and unblockable from a chosen colour, or Augur of Autumn letting you cast creature spells from the top of your library, Coven is an incredibly flexible and potent ability you'll want to be building around.įor the combat tricks, there is a good mix of good, cheap worth using. Plane Shift: Innistrad was written by James Wyatt. Once you've pumped your Humans (hopefully in a way that means they have different power from each other), the Coven mechanic really comes in handy. Plane Shift: Innistrad, released in 2016, was the second release in the Plane Shift series of digital supplements, presenting the Magic: The Gathering setting of Innistrad for Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition. What they lack in raw power they make up for with numbers and teamwork – this archetype is all about making Human creature tokens and fighting back with the new Coven mechanic, which triggers whenever you have three or more creatures with different power at the start of combat.Īdeline, Resplendent Cathar, Cathar's Call, Sunset Revelry, Dawnhart Mentor and Join the Dance can all make the tokens you need, while Defend the Celestus, Timberland Guide, Katilda, Dawnhart Prime, and Sigarda, Champion of Light can buff them up. Green and white represent the humans of Innistrad, trying to fend off the horrors that reside in the darkness. Giving you card draw while also forcing it to turn to night on your turn if you control enough wolves or werewolves, it's the best way to stop an opponent who is obsessed with making it daytime and transforming your powerful werewolves back into measly humans. There are plenty of powerful abilities, though, such as Frenzied Trapbreaker's artifact and enchantment removal, Tovolar's Packleader's fighting for creature removal, and Pestilent Wolf, which can gain deathtouch.īy far the most important piece for this archetype, though, is Tovolar, Dire Overlord. Daybound and Nightbound permanents will all transform into the corresponding side whenever the cycle changes, meaning you'll need to carefully control how many spells you play to keep the state you need.Īs you'd expect, Werewolves really need it to be night, which means this archetype keeps how many spells you cast to a minimum. From there, the day and night cycle changes based on how many spells a person plays each turn: playing no spells will make it night, while playing two or more will turn it back to day. At the start of the game, it will be neither day nor night, but once a daybound permanent enters the battlefield, it will become day, while a nightbound will make it night.
