Black/Red beatdown decks, on the other hand, often have a very large number of creatures of dubious quality, such as Urborg Phantom and Viashino Grapplers. Of all of the color combination Red/Black is the most likely to be able to run on few creatures, though these decks generally need to have at least one extremely viable creature like Urborg Shambler. The more controlling Red/Black has overwhelming numbers of creature removal spells, and generally a few powerful threats. Red/Black decks are of two distinct flavors. Many of these decks will fall somewhere in between the two, but it is not to hard to tell which one a player wants more: do they take the two casting cost Bears or the five casting cost Fatty? Bear decks tend to play with more combat tricks like Explosive Growth and hope to finish the game before the opponent can stabilize, whereas the Fatty decks put out fewer cards, and eventually begin to attack with their superior creatures.

Green/Red tends to come in two flavors: Fatties or Bears. This deck generally has to rely much more heavily on having superior creatures and keeping them alive. Usually including the quality creatures of Green, it protects them with Acolytes and Green/White combat tricks. White/Green is one of the less commonly drafted decks, but is occasionally popular as an anti-Black deck. While the occasional Blue/White deck can break out with Galina's Knights and fast flyers, much more common are decks that set up their defenses with Acolytes, Stormscape Apprentice, and fat blockers like Prison Barricade or Vodalian Serpents, waiting for a late game win with flyers. While rare cards and powerful uncommon cards can change the tone of a deck, you can expect certain color combinations to have some very distinct qualities.Д«lue/White decks are usually somewhat controlling, with a large amount of evasion.

There are a lot of theories about what to draft in Invasion.
