While red-heavy Death Dealer decks take center stage, the disruptive control variant of Azalea finds a new advantage defying expectations.

Rangers are notably vulnerable to fatigue, but Riptide players have begun to find their niche in the late game.

Wonder what the Rathe Times writers are running in this young Heavy Hitters meta? Every day this week, we'll be coming in with quick snapshots of our current favorites. Talon wraps it up today.

Early previews have begun for Heavy Hitters' expansion slot, and Talon is taking the bait with the new Riptide-ready Ranger card, Reel In.

It started as a pressure test. A simple question: What would happen if I ran 9 Salvage Shots and built a deck to support it?

The bright spotlight on Lexi and fandom rooting for Azalea has relegated Riptide to a novelty act. But there's reason to take another look at the grim fisherman.

If you're looking to dip your toe into the Ranger game, we'll give you a path to learn the basics of the class while setting yourself up for a long-term investment in the class.

After years of Death Dealer play patterns, a faction of Azalea players has charted a new course.

Even when pushing your offensive to the limit, there are ways to mitigate damage and considerations on blocking that must be made.

As the one successful Ranger before Outsiders, Lexi comes to the table with high regard. But with tools largely focused on Azalea and Riptide, can Lexi maintain credibility?

When your strategy involves spiking your opponent with minor damage during blocks, it helps to have low life totals. Riptide is ready for Blitz.

Ever the survivalist, Riptide finds a path forward with this Pox-focused build for Classic Constructed.

From zero to hero, Azalea's incredible ascent in the new Outsiders meta isn't an accident. It's the payoff of a slowly built toolkit and incredible community devotion.

Outsiders has renewed interest in the Ranger class, but before you invest in anything, make sure you're pursuing the deck that will resonate with you.

For the Azalea faithful, putting away the Death Dealer feels impossible. But the Sandscour Greatbow offers an entirely new way to approach the Ranger class.

I'm not saying Azalea's the next meta hero. But if you've been waiting for her moment, the competitive landscape has never looked more favorable.

Learn the basics of Lexi and the Elemental Ranger class in this introductory course, from lines of play and weapon selection to fusion and elements.
