Greetings citizens of Ravnica!
Our city is in great peril. It is time for us to unite to overcome this crisis. And by unite, I mean granting us, the Azorius Senate, unlimited power to enforce our laws:
Emergency Powers
. Not just one or two powers, many many many powers. We like power- I mean we like to keep you safe.
To acquire such power, we require citizens from all non-black guilds to lend all guildgate based resources to us. You should be well aware of your standard contributions, your
Growth Spiral
,
Gates Ablaze
,
Circuitous Route
,
Guild Summit
. We of the Azorius have no need for such gauche methods as "attacking" so we only require some
Archway Angels
for life gain.
Our friends at the Izzet League have constructed an appropriate method to acquire suitable quantities of powers:
Thousand-Year Storm
. But clearly, even with the mana of all of Ravnica, expecting to cast multiple 7 mana instants is quite difficult, considering the dastardly Rakdos and Red anarchy roaming the streets.
Our friends of the Church of Orzhova have come up with an innovative solution: taxes.
Smothering Tithe
and
Treasure Map
will grant us the funds we need to spin our powers, which in turn will likely conjure forth our
Thousand-Year Storm
, our
Niv-Mizzet, Parun
, and on occasion our
Guild Summit
for free. Suffice it to say, Emergency Powers + Smothering Tithe
will generate... acceptable quantities of mana.
Of course, we do need to deal with the threat eventually. We can't just spin powers forever. The Izzet League's parun, Niv-Mizzet comes to our aid here. Additionally, we have
Lightning Strike
for after our Thousand Year Storm is suitably charged.
As for our sideboard... well when we asked for aid from the Gruul Clans, Mr Domri Rade sent us some large animals and statues and asked us to "smash". Certainly, our enemies will expect such tactics to a lesser extent after a few dozen Emergency Powers...
Kindest Regards,
