A lot of cards in Ravnica Allegiance are really drawing me to Mardu midrange.
Orzhov is bringing plenty of interesting control cards to the table, from Kaya, Orzhov Usurper to Revival // Revenge. The classic card Mortify makes an exciting return, and the new Kaya's Wrath, while mana intensive, can put in a lot of work. The new keyword Afterlife offers a lot of residual value and could prove to be quite effective in grinding out games.
Rakdos brings some power with crazy cards like Captive Audience and Rakdos, the Showstopper. While I am not overly enthusiastic about Spectacle, the ability to chain into discounted cards has potential. Spawn of Mayhem, as and example, can offer you a body with fair stats an simultaneously act as an enabler. Rakdos also offers some interesting removal options, from Bedevil to Electrodominance.
We still have a fair number of cards left to see, and only time will tell if Mardu is playable. But there are definitely some exciting cards that have me brewing. Anyone else?
