Good Budget Ruby/Emerald Deck This starter deck's greatest strengths are its Evasive characters and its ability to remove threats from the board, so this build emphasizes both of those strategies, while also aiming to make the deck more consistent
But when you tack on milling synergies in its first chapter, returning all lands from your graveyard to the battlefield in the second chapter and another target creature getting +X/+X equal to the number of lands you control in the final chapter, youve got the makings of a top-flight game-finisher and yet another example of Summons being playgrounds for the Timmys/Tammys of the world (like me)
You have to be pretty dedicated to that strategy, however, as his ability will only be helpful in scenarios when you play a bodyguard character
Melee debuted in 2016s Conspiracy: Take the Crown set, and in the decade since, only 14 creatures have been added to Magic that include the ability on the card (some, like Depthshaker Titan, give melee to each artifact creature you control)

Whether itll establish a real foothold in the Modern metagame remains to be seen, but in the meantime, its great to see a new set inspire such wanton deckbuilding innovation
