Let’s be honest though, Elemental Summoning is likely to be a premium Common and difficult to find multiples of. Quandrix’s Fractals are the only mascot which can go bigger than Prismari, but even then they need 6 mana to match the Elementals. Bayou Groff is looking to be one of the best Commons and costs 5 mana or a creature to cast, only to trade with an Elemental. Master Symmetrist is a premium Uncommon, and still trades with Elementals. Green decks have a few options as expected, but their best options aren’t ideal: Strixhaven is a format with fairly weak creatures, and many decks are going to need to stack-block to deal with 4/4’s. We need only take a glance at some of its Commons to find strong evidence of this: Important CommonsĤ/4 Elementals are going to be a force to be reckoned with in this set. Even more, where Izzet could often draw a bunch of cards but fail to find something substantial enough to actually win the game, Prismari does not look to have this issue.
Pure card advantage spells can be an insurmountable boon in slower formats, and Prismari is stacked in this regard. Every college can generate card advantage from the Learn/Lesson mechanic, but none like Prismari. If the format ends up being as slow as it appears to be, Prismari is situated really well to capitalize. Taken as a whole, these effectively extend the synergies present in the signposts.
Igneous Inspiration is perhaps the best Uncommon in the set, and while Divide By Zero notably misses creature tokens (mascots), it still presents a crucial tempo swing which enables you to spend that extra turn to safely cast the Lesson it fetches. Both Learn spells in these colors are excellent. Doing so with a Storm-Kiln Artist in play for instance generates a pair of Treasure tokens, powering it up and enabling a huge turn later. Most creatures you are going to run in these colors qualify you to double-Opt with this spell, which triggers all of your Magecraft stuff twice. Both Prismari ones represent great card advantage, and Mentor’s Guidance continues that trend as an upgraded Divination. Best UncommonsĪs mentioned earlier, the Uncommons in these colors are great. I won’t be double-dipping and putting signpost cards in the Best Uncommons section, but Rootha is an example of one you can definitely imagine being there as well. Rootha in particular feels hugely impactful, blocking early and doubling stuff late. Pulling these off turn 5 is obviously a dream scenario, but they are powerful plays representing huge advantages at any point in the game. This would also work with Elemental Summoning (see Commons), creating 2x 4/4 Elementals instead. On turn 5 you could then pull off a double cast of Practical Research (see below), generating a pair of +1/+1 counters on your Apprentice in the process. As a thought experiment, let’s say you curve out Apprentice into Rootha into Maelstrom Muse. The main thing that stands out to me is Prismari has some serious synergy at Uncommon. Let’s see some more cards: Prismari Signposts 8 mana may seem insane for a UR spell, but Prismari utilizes treasure to generate the mana it needs. Damage and card advantage are to be expected in these colors, but 4/4 creatures have been less prevalent lately. This card exemplifies most of what Prismari is about.
