Top 8 Decklists

The top 8 decks represented decks from 8 different archetypes, all featuring some new Dominaria United cards in one way or another. As Lukas predicted, Three-Color Midrange decks are looking strong.

The Mono-Color Aggro decks are also preying on unrefined, less consistent decks, as usually seen in a new metagame, especially as Standard has undergone rotation and there are now much less cards in the format. Make sure to check out our meta predictions after the first day!
