Last updated on June 21, 2026 Orcish Bowmasters | Illustration by Maxim Kostin Like many Magic players, I am a huge fan of enter-the-battlefield effects, especially coming from creatures, as midrange decks are among the most common types of deck I tend to use
Where this deck can go against you is the inclusion of a lot of high-cost, uninkable cards that can sit in your hand for ages and slow you down
Fire Cross - Whenever Seifer Almasy deals combat damage to a player, you may cast target instant or sorcery spell with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard without paying its mana cost
Optimally, those 1/1 rats will have power boosts too, such as from Gnawing Crescendo or Imodane's Recruiter
In the case of Elsa, Spirit of Winter, it helps that the card itself is also one of The First Chapters stronger picks, offering the power to freeze your opponents characters to stop them challenging your cards or questing for lore
Wrenn and Seven is tailor-made for decks that want to dump their libraries into their graveyards for nefarious purposes
