No matter the format, you better believe a Monowhite deck will be possible in it. We have plenty of strong options at every point of the curve and a surprising amount of interaction for a Monowhite deck!

Between plenty of removal and value permanents, Monoblack has plenty of tools to grind out the competition.

Crimson Vow Constructed Monored Aggro

Mountain

60 Cards

Like Monowhite, Monored can functionally always exist in any format. Per usual, it has plenty of removal and cheap creatures, but it also has extremely powerful threats like Chandra, Dressed to Kill and Manaform Hellkite to decimate the opponent.

Crimson Vow Constructed Monogreen Aggro
by DoggertQBones
Buy on TCGplayer $127.74

60 Cards
$81.44

The curve is quite good for Monogreen, but the card quality does vary at certain points in the curve. Nevertheless, it’s hard to go wrong with pile of strong creatures.

Crimson Vow COnstructed Rakdos Vampires

Buy on TCGplayer $88.38

Voldaren Estate

60 Cards

Since Vampires were the flagship tribe of the set so it makes sense we build them here! There’s obviously plenty of synergy here as well as solid removal to back up those threats.

Crimson Vow Constructed Azorius Spirits

Another heavily supported in Crimson Vow, Spirits has a solid amount of support and despite the curve being really low, we have plenty of mid game grind with Disturb abilities.

Crimson Vow Constructed Gruul Werewolves

The finally Tribal list of the article, Gruul is mostly a Werewolves deck but we make room for the very powerful Halana and Alena, Partners and ramp with Reclusive Taxidermist.

Crimson Vow Constructed Golgari Reanimator

Deathcap Glade
$87.96
60 Cards
$238.14

If you want to get a bit spicier for this event, with self mill, huge threats, and a bit of reanimation, you can get game enders on board well ahead of schedule and dominate your opponent.

Crimson Vow COnstructed Orzhov Control

The first of the two Control decks, Orzhov has an excess of removal and a 6 mana board wipe to back up our win conditions like Faithbound Judge or Edgar, Charmed Groom.

The final deck of the list, Izzet Control has a surplus of cheap interaction to help the insanely powerful Hullbreaker Horror be even more unbeatable than normal.


My Top Picks

Jacob Hauken, Inspector Art by Aurore Folny

All these decks should be viable, but if you want the very best options, here’s what I’d recommend.

  1. Gruul Werewolves
  2. Mono Red Aggro
  3. Izzet Control
  4. Mono White Aggro
  5. Orzhov Control
