Sapphire cards help you to get Ink into play faster and Steel cards are pretty strong, so by combining those two aspects, this deck is able to help you to get to the really powerful, high cost cards
A lot of the creatures in the deck are on the lower side in regards to power and toughness, and they wont always have deathtouch due to not having a full party, so a +1/+1 anthem felt right here
This deck features a fair number of four-mana spells and mana sinks, so I think you want 25 lands, and once youve committed to playing more mana sources, the second and third copies of Eiganjo rarely hurt you because you are more likely to want to use them as spells anyway
There's so much to enjoy about this pre-con, and it's a great deck to test upgrades on, as there's very little that won't work in the deck from the red/blue pool of cards
1 card of any rarity is Traditional Foil
Granted, Arna probably is an emergency anytime shes on board because doubling the counters , Auras, and Equipment of all your attacking creatures, permanently, is patently absurd
