Boros Energy is a fast, wide aggro-tempo deck built around Guide of Souls, Ocelot Pride, and Ragavan generating incremental advantage through a stream of efficient threats. Your plan is to stabilize with Fatal Push and Pyroclasm against their early board, then land an Archon of Cruelty or Abhorrent Oculus via Persist or Unearth to take over the game — both are effectively unanswerable without exile effects. Harvester of Misery provides additional sweeper-adjacent value, often trading two-for-one against their small creatures while coming down on a Persist or Unearth. Surgical Extraction comes in to strip Ragavan or Phlage after a removal spell, cutting off their most dangerous individual threats. Spell Pierce and Troll of Khazad-dum are trimmed as counterspells are weak in a race and Troll is too slow against their aggressive curve.
Jeskai Blink is a tempo-value deck built around Phelia and Phlage, using Ephemerate and Arena of Glory to generate incremental advantage while Solitude and Galvanic Discharge handle your creatures. Fatal Push is largely dead here since most of their threats are either too large (Phlage, Quantum Riddler) or get flickered back into play anyway. Bring in Mystical Dispute and Strix Serenade to counter their key permanents and protect your reanimation targets, and bring in two Consign to Memory to answer Solitude blowouts or protect Archon and Abhorrent Oculus from exile effects. Your primary game plan is to force through a large threat early — Archon of Cruelty off Persist or Unearth can win on the spot if they lack a Solitude, and multiple threats in quick succession will overwhelm their interaction.
Affinity is a fast artifact-based aggro deck that can deploy a wide board quickly through Weapons Manufacturing and Urza's Saga tokens before closing with Kappa Cannoneer or Arcbound Ravager. Meltdown is your best answer, wiping out low-cost artifacts at scale, while Pyroclasm handles the token swarms and smaller threats. Harvester of Misery provides additional removal and a reanimation target that generates immediate value. Trim Thoughtseize since the matchup is largely about board presence rather than disrupting their hand, and Troll of Khazad-dum is too slow and mana-intensive compared to your three-to-five mana reanimation targets. Be aware that their sideboard brings in Grafdigger's Cage and Whipflare, so time your Persist and Unearth plays carefully around their interaction.
