For the final deck of the list, we’re looking to get scrappy! Selesnya Tokens has a few powerful payoffs and going wide is helpful in a format that lacks a lot of strong removal options.

My Top Picks

The last few Constructed events have been relatively low powered, and while that is likely the case here as well (although this format seems higher powered than Streets of New Capenna Constructed), this time around, these decks were not created equal. Rather than my top 5 picks, I’ll just do my top three as I believe these are leagues better than the rest.

1. Gruul Aggro
2. Mono Red Aggro
3. Mono Black Aggro

Black’s cards are just so much stronger than the rest right now, but I do think Mono Red or Gruul could give them a run for their money. Never the less, if you were planning on playing the event, Mono Black is likely what you should go for.

Thank you for reading!
