Premodern archetypes that play Impulse
- Stiflenought: Digs for whichever combo piece you are missing and smooths the draw.
- Landstill: The glue of modern builds: dig four cards deep at instant speed for the land, sweeper or counter the situation demands. The card that turned classic draw-go Landstill into the smooth 2026 version.
- Tron: Two mana to dig four deep at instant speed, finding the missing Urza land far more often than it finds action, which is exactly the job.
