Edit for me
Eternal Siege
The best strategy against an overwhelming enemy is to stay on the offensive. You’ll forge a new alliance between Bant and Naya against the forces of Nicol Bolas, charging into the fray with an array of efficient, battle-ready knights and behemoths. As you cast trick after game-altering trick, victory will dawn over the trampled resolve of your foes.

Legion Aloft
Your strategy revolves around ruling two fronts at once: the land and the sky. You’ll set down an impenetrable blockade of foe-frustrating creatures on the ground, and then launch a combined force of quick Bant and Esper fliers over enemy defenses. Keep your opponents off-balance with sneaky spells while you pummel their befuddled faces with your winged minions.

Unnatural Schemes
Your enemies will try to exploit every advantage they have over you—so you need to take those advantages away from them. Use the etherium artifacts of Esper and the necromancy of Grixis to conjure up a combined assault of the unnatural and the undead. Strip your opponents' hands of annoying spells, grind away

Dead Ahead
When the seething rage of Jund and the necromancy of Grixis come together, the result is a fearless, fiery assault. Hurl both fire and minions directly at your enemies' eyeballs as you cut down creatures and life totals with your death magic. Live for the moment! Who needs long-term plans when you’ve got a horde of burning zombies?

Rumbler
The most savage brutes from the jungle paradise of Naya and the volcanic wastes of Jund have assembled, awaiting your command. Burn away the flinching speed bumps your opponents shove in your way, or simply smash through them. Your robust monsters will ignore the strategies—and then the pleas—of enemy planeswalkers as you stomp your way to yet another big win.
