Historic Artisan – Midweek Magic Event Guide and Best Decklists (30 New Decks!)
This guide will contain everything you need to know about the Midweek Magic: Historic Artisan event, including rewards and our exclusive sample decklists.
Hey everyone! We have reached the middle of another week and that means it is time for another Midweek Magic to drop. This week it is Historic Artisan which means no Rares or Mythics allowed. Not having a big wildcard investment tends to cause this to get a lot of play whenever it pops up. Yeah, yeah I’ll shut up and get to some deck lists for you right after the event details.

Let’s be honest here, nobody wants to play the Cauldron Familiar game of a thousand clicks and they can’t have you just Zenith Flareing your opponent in the middle of nowhere.
Decklists
Azorius Auras
This is always a fun one because you get to stack a pile of auras and do some crazy stuff with it. Obviously, you prefer to be sticking them on Invisible Stalker, but you have some other protection running around if he pulls a John Cena.
Ignore that the deck list says 4 rares, Port Town was changed to Uncommon for Arena in Shadows over Innistrad.
Bet you didn’t see this one coming. That tends to happen with Ninjas and I am not so lazy that I’d settle for making a John Cena joke two decks in a row. Draw a bunch of cards, kill some creatures, and have a great time doing it.
Same sidenote as above, but with Choked Estuary being downshifted.
Wait, are you trying to tell me Amped Raptor isn’t a wizard? You can’t tell him what he can do! Honestly it just seemed fun to toss him in here and as long as you don’t hit Wizard’s Lighting it’s a free spell which is huge.
I’m going to be honest, I just wanted to smash some face with Cranial Ram so I tossed this together in the middle of posting this. This is for those of you that also want to live that kind of life.
