Hello everyone. One of the neatest aspects of March of the Machine is the team-up cards. Seeing two legendary creatures fighting together, side-by-side, really gives the feeling of unity, combining your forces for the greater cause. This week I'll be taking a look at some cards featuring these legendary team-up cards. Let's get started.

Djeru and Hazoret

We'll start on the plane of Amonkhet, with a deck featuring Djeru and Hazoret. Let's look at the deck.

Djeru and Hazoret has an ability that triggers when you attack. You'll look at the top six cards of your library, exile a legendary creature card found there, and then put the remaining cards on the bottom of your library. Then, for the rest of the turn, you can cast that exiled legendary creature for free. As always, whenever you can cast a spell for free, it's worth doing. Since there's no sort of restriction on that creature's mana value, you can cast some game-breaking creatures with ease.

Djeru and Hazoret, though, does have a mana value of five, so you won't be getting legendary creatures for free right away. Luckily, there are a few ways to help out with additional mana. Katilda, Dawnhart Prime allows your human creatures to tap for one mana of any color in that creature's cost. Gwenna, Eyes of Gaea can be tapped to provide two mana to cast creature spells (or activate abilities that your creatures have). Finally, Relic of Legends can tap for any mana, plus it allows your legendary creatures to tap for mana. Since this ability doesn't have the tap symbol, even creatures that have entered the battlefield this turn can be tapped to provide this mana.

Thalia and The Gitrog Monster

Next, from the plane of Innistrad, I have a deck featuring Thalia and The Gitrog Monster. Let's look.

Thalia and Gitrog| MOM Standard | MtgMalone

• Creatures (32)
• 2 Ao, the Dawn Sky
• 3 Adeline, Resplendent Cathar
• 3 Glissa, Herald of Predation
• 3 Glissa Sunslayer
• 3 Katilda, Dawnhart Prime
• 3 Melira, the Living Cure
• 3 Ratadrabik of Urborg
• 3 Sheoldred
• 3 Skrelv, Defector Mite
• 3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
• 3 Thalia and The Gitrog Monster

• Spells (4)
• 2 Mirror Box
• 2 Invasion of Fiora

• Lands (24)
• 1 Forest
• 2 Plains
• 2 Swamp
• 2 Boseiju, Who Endures
• 2 Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire
• 2 Takenuma, Abandoned Mire
• 3 Deathcap Glade
• 3 Overgrown Farmland
• 3 Shattered Sanctum
• 4 Plaza of Heroes

Thalia and The Gitrog Monster is a huge threat on the battlefield. Your opponent will be forced to expend a removal spell to destroy or exile them, because blocking them will result in a minimum of five of their creatures dying due to Thalia and The Gitrog Monster having both deathtouch and first strike. Thalia and The Gitrog Monster does have a pretty big drawback, though, when attacking. You'll need to sacrifice either a land card or a creature card when they attack, but this drawback is somewhat relegated if you have a copy of Ratadrabik of Urborg in play.

Since every creature spell in this deck is a legendary creature, this deck really shines while you have a copy of Mirror Box on the battlefield. This allows you to have multiple copies of the same legendary permanents in play at the same time. Your legendary creatures also receive a +1/+1 buff from Mirror Box, plus your nontoken creatures get an additional +1/+1 bonus for each other creature you control with the same name. Thanks to those bonuses, Thalia and The Gitrog Monster can become even more difficult to defend against.

Yargle and Multani

Up next, I have a deck featuring Yargle and Multani from Dominaria that uses their immense power to end games quickly. Let's check it out.

Yargle and Multani| MOM Standard | powrdragn

• Planeswalkers (2)
• 2 Lukka, Bound to Ruin

• Creatures (22)
• 2 Llanowar Loamspeaker
• 3 Armored Scrapgorger
• 3 Gwenna, Eyes of Gaea
• 3 Yargle and Multani
• 3 Ziatora, the Incinerator
• 4 Bloodtithe Harvester
• 4 Voldaren Thrillseeker

• Instants (6)
• 3 Cut Down
• 3 Go for the Throat

• Enchantments (3)
• 3 Fable of the Mirror-Breaker

• Artifacts (2)
• 2 Courier's Briefcase

• Lands (25)
• 1 Swamp
• 1 Boseiju, Who Endures
• 1 Takenuma, Abandoned Mire
• 2 Deathcap Glade
• 4 Blackcleave Cliffs
• 4 Copperline Gorge
• 4 Haunted Ridge
• 4 Llanowar Wastes
• 4 Rockfall Vale

For this deck to run on all cylinders, you'll want to start things off by casting some of your creatures that help to accelerate the amount of mana you can produce. Llanowar Loamspeaker can tap for one mana of any color. So can Armored Scrapgorger. Gwenna, Eyes of Gaea can be tapped for two mana, but that mana can only cast creature spells or activate the abilities of creatures. Finally, Lukka, Bound to Ruin can also produce two mana to be used in the same way as Gwenna's mana.

All of that extra mana can help you cast Yargle and Multani in no time. Even though Yargle and Multani has no abilities, it is an 18/6 creature your opponent will have to contend with. You can win quickly in a couple of ways. If you activate Lukka's ultimate -4 loyalty ability, you'll be able to deal 18 damage to your opponent's creatures and planeswalkers however you would like. This can open up the door for a big attack with Yargle and Multani. Alternatively, you can 'fling' Yargle and Multani directly at your opponent with the help of Ziatora, the Incinerator's end step ability. Either of these allows you to deal a lot of damage very quickly.

Errant and Giada

The final deck I have for you this week comes from New Capenna, and features Errant and Giada alongside a ton of Angels. Let's take a look at the deck.

Errant and Giada | MOM Standard | LegenVD

• Creatures (23)
• 2 Guardian of Ghirapur
• 2 Serra Paragon
• 3 Errant and Giada
• 4 Archangel of Wrath
• 4 Giada, Font of Hope
• 4 Inspiring Overseer
• 4 Steel Seraph

• Spells (12)
• 2 Go for the Throat
• 4 Cut Down
• 4 Leyline Binding
• 2 Invasion of Gobakhan

• Lands (25)
• 1 Island
• 2 Swamp
• 4 Plains
• 1 Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire
• 1 Takenuma, Abandoned Mire
• 2 Obscura Storefront
• 2 Raffine's Tower
• 4 Caves of Koilos
• 4 Secluded Courtyard
• 4 Xander's Lounge

Having Errant and Giada on the battlefield allows you to look at the top card of your library, plus you can cast any spell you find there that has either flash or flying. This essentially gives you a +1 hand size. Since every creature in this deck is an Angel that has flying, you'll often be able to utilize this ability very effectively. In addition to the flying creatures, this deck also includes Leyline Binding, which happens to have flash.

One nice combo found in this deck has you casting Steel Seraph for its prototype value. You'll end up with a 3/3 that offers flying, vigilance, or lifelink to one of your creatures during combat on your turn. Later on, you can cast Guardian of Ghirapur, which has the ability to exile one creature or artifact you control until the beginning of the next end step. By exiling Steel Seraph, when it returns to the battlefield, it will come into play as a 5/4 creature, even if it was just a 3/3 when it was exiled. Getting extra value like this can go a long way towards winning the game.

Wrapping Up

The legendary team-ups found in March of the Machine offer you a great starting point for a deck. By combining two creatures on a single creature spell, the result is a powerful card dripping with flavor. They're sure to be a hit in Standard as well as Commander.
