This is what I want to see out of an Omen card, where one half is strong on its own (the creature side), but there are plenty of times you are happy playing the Omen side
The best ones to do that are artifacts, so any drafter can use them, but some colored ones look interesting as well: And to help with critical mass, there are some Changelings and clones that are commonly used anyway: Ideally, the effect I want to achieve is: - 1-2 decks per pod have minor tribal themes (say, RG Beatdown with Krenko, Mob Boss, Siege-Gang Commander and Goblin Warchief doing cute things) - In about 50% of the drafts, a dedicated tribal deck is drafted, running the generic tribe enablers (White weenie running mostly Soldiers with Adaptive Automaton, Harsh Mercy, Mutavaultand Obelisk of Urd) - Once in a blue moon, someone puts together Shriekmaw, Mulldrifter, Flickerwisp, some clones, changelings and the tribal cards and makes a crazy 4-color Elementals blink deck that's bad but loads of fun
Helm of the Host is the most recognizable combo here, which works with a number of other extra combat cards too
Is it an excuse to mention freerunning
You can preorder them now through online retailers like Amazon, at your local game store, and elsewhere Magic products are sold.
People often overlook the fact that these cards can be used to destroy lands because theyre so used to the idea of land destruction being a taboo that cant be questioned
