At long last, a fresh Standard format is here with the arrival of Dominaria United on MTG Arena! This latest expansion is the first out of four sets returning to the world of Dominaria, and along with it a whole bunch of fun looking cards that look to shape Standard and Alchemy for the next two years, as well as impacting the non-rotating formats such as Historic and Explorer.
Below we’ve collected all our new decks for you to try on the first day, with an emphasis on featuring the new cards. Be sure to check out the associated articles as well (linked below the decklists), to gain further context on why we think these new decks might play a role in the new metagame!
