Best Strategy in STX Draft: Lorehold Aggro

Strixhaven Premier Draft is back on MTG Arena for a couple of days, and it’s a breeze of fresh air for limited players who got a little intoxicated by Phyrexia: All will be One. That format was never featured at competitive level and most techs are still to be unveiled by the veteran players.

Back when I drafted the set, I came to the conclusion that one archetype was above the rest. It’s fairly easy to draft, most of the cards you need are common and overlooked by the majority.

Lorehold is the unloved house of Strixhaven for drafters. It’s too slow and the “excavation” mechanic just doesn’t cut it. However, I found that the Red- White aggressive strategy is by far the most reliable and power combination in the set.

In the video below, I’ll show you how to draft it, play it and will walk you through the basic strategy behind it.
