Iconic Masters looks to have the most muddled archetypes in Masters history. MMA2017 was the outlier, as it was a format defined by multicolor decks. Masters sets always have some oddball color combinations that either lack a particularly coherent archetype (RG in MMA2013), have a low average ceiling (UR Elementals in MMA2015, BG Dredge in MMA2013) or are so flexible as to not really have have an archetype (WB in EMA). In MMA2017, UB was a control deck in a format defined by multicolor goodstuff decks with cross-synergies. In EMA, UB was a reanimation deck that required uncommons to function well. A UB deck in MMA2015 was a control deck maximizing the use of proliferation and -1/-1 counters. If you were a blue-black deck in MMA2013, you were a faeries deck, and if you were any other kind of blue deck you had little use for faeries. Masters formats have traditionally had mostly straightforward archetypes for each color combination. Now that the format is nigh, let’s take a good look at what we now know and what you ought to know to play the format. We here at Hipsters had the amazing fortune of being some of the only people to draft the format at HasCon, and we made a guide to the format back when the set was still being spoiled.
It’s been two months since HasCon, and Iconic Masters will finally be available to the public this weekend.
