Magic: The Gathering is returning to the plane of Ravnica with a new set called Murders at Karlov Manor. This set will focus on solving cases, collecting evidence, and donning disguises, rather than the usual Guildpact business or defeating Nicol Bolas. The draft scene for this set will begin at prerelease events on February 2nd. There are ten major archetypes across ten dual-colored Mana pairs, each with one or two uncommon rarity cards called ‘signpost Uncommons’ that form the core of the deck’s engine. Players should be on the lookout for ‘bomb rares’, but choosing one of these ten strategies with plenty of open cards at the table is a more reliable path to victory. The article provides a guide to the dominant strategies and offers tips on deck-building for beginners and the draft curious. The archetypes include Detectives, Clues Control, Suspect Aggro, Big Disguise, Go-Wide Disguise, Pint-Size Disguise, Artefact Sacrifice, Gravebreak, Battalion, and Collect Evidence. Each archetype has its own unique strategy and signpost uncommons that players should be aware of when building their decks.
