Sliv-Mizzet, Hivemind Whoever came up with the name Sliv-Mizzet, Hivemind deserves an award
Making sure to support him with plenty of disruption and recursion cards allows Emet-Selch to continuously discard and then cast spells from the graveyard at a reduced cost, which also paves the way for a quick transformation to make him even more powerful
Black and White All the Trainers in this set were already covered except Professor Juniper, which I will gladly include on this list as it is just an Oak in Supporter form and Supporters can be more easily fished out of a deck than a Trainer can
Evasive creatures also pair nicely with buffs from cards like Craterhoof Behemoth, or cards that grant infect like Triumph of the Hordes
