These two Secrets of Strixhaven cards resurrect Magic's oldest combo

Secrets of Strixhaven introduces a new Golgari combo built around Stensian Sanguinist and Yavimaya Bloomsage.

Their prepared states let players use Channel-style life-to-mana conversion and fuel Exsanguinate.

The result is a potent drain finish that echoes the classic Channel plus Fireball combo.

The interaction shows how new mechanics can revive old-school, game-ending combo play in Magic: The Gathering.
