And that a lot of them have good Adventures attached to them.
Some people noticed that the Temur colors had quite a few haymakers of creatures in it. If Temur falls out of the meta, this might become my new pet deck. Some versions are even running Embercleave because it lets that one attacker that does get through each turn hit for absurd damage. Gadwick finds a home here as a way to refill your hand when you run low, and can easily defend with its tap ability and just as easily remove blockers so Brineborn or Bonecrusher can start smacking people in the face. It’s a deck in the flavor of the old Mono-Blue tempo strategy: you don’t need to have that many threats if your opponent can’t do anything to stop the one you have. This version is a little heavier on removal and deals incidental damage as it goes. The not nearly as popular-and possibly not as powerful-of the Flash decks. It’s by no means an easy deck to pilot-there are complex fiddly bits and resource management considerations-but it attacks on so many levels and from so many directions that it’s hard to stop it from utterly killing you. Turns out the best way to make the cat oven deck utterly mean is to add a big dragon in Korvold, use Mayhem Devil as a combo damage machinegun, and stack Trail of Crumbs so the deck can generate even more card advantage than some blue decks. This all combines for a pretty dang consistent deck. Frilled Mystic is a little clumsy mana-wise, but is such a blowout when timed right. Nissa, Who Shakes the World is a planeswalker that used to be undervalued but has proven itself to be a card that demands an answer right away, or it will utterly ruin someone’s plans. Nightpack Ambusher is such a brutal card and only gets more so in multiples. Simic Flash:įor the more aggressive Simic player, Simic Flash is a deck that only needs to stabilize for a few turns before it utterly takes over a game. Quasiduplicate and Finale of Devastation are both really fun additions and it’s cool to see End-Raze Forerunners being played in a top tier deck. The game plan is generating a lot of mana quickly, then dumping it into card advantage engines and spells that will instantly overrun an opponent. Simic Ramp is really Hydroid Krasis the deck, though it’s got a pretty fun elemental interaction.
It seems the combination of mana efficiency, card draw, and some truly silly creatures and planeswalkers is tipping the scale in a very weighted direction. Only the most hardcore of aggro decks in the meta aren’t those colors. It seems like green and blue have become the most powerful colors in Magic lately. So, let’s go through six of them and see what’s kicking around in Standard. Pre-Theros release, the Magic meta isn’t likely to do anything too jarring, but the newest Mythic Championship definitely cemented a few decks and even brought back ramp as a viable strategy.
