We can rebuild them, we have the technology!

Affinity is back! Ravager is the truth!

After two years of having the Ravagers shelved they have been bought back out due to Urza's Saga and Thought Monitor. Affinity is a artifact aggro deck based around playing as many cards as possible in the first few turns and running your opponent over with creatures boosted by effects that care about artifacts.

I built this current list, but I will always give credit to Frank Karsten for getting me on the affinity train.

Updated list from the first large event since Feb 2020.

I changed to this more affinity heavy list a few months ago. Thought Monitor is a busted card. Drawing 2 extra cards and leaving a flying body to hold onto Platings is just what affinity asked for. Creature lands aren't good enough with Urza's Saga. Ravager is garbage with Fury and Solitude in the format. I keep losing to them, but now I have some kind of chance to get back into the game.

Went 5-0-2 in the swiss with this build beating Burn, Blue Moon, Tron, & Grixis Death Shadow twice. Lost in the quarters to Elementals.
