Hello everyone! Today we’re going to review a subset of the extremely popular Temur Adventures archetype: Temur Lukka. Before I continue, I’ll show both a stock version of Obosh Adventures (the most popular form of Temur), then I’ll show Temur…

Hello everyone! It’s been a hot minute since I talked about my bae (Zendikar Rising in fact), but it’s time to bring her back into the limelight: . I’ve been singing her praises for a full year now, but Winota…

Hello everyone! Today we’re going to go over the latest iteration of the classic Yorion midrange archetype, 4 color. Realistically, this is just Esper splashing for one card, but that makes all the difference in the world when you have…

Hello everyone! Today we’re going to talk about one of Standard’s many Adventures decks, Temur Turns! Temur takes a different approach to the Adventures shell as instead of being a fast deck with a strong engine, this list looks to…

I am mostly known for writing about “meta” decks. Even my “home brews” are generally made with the intent of being decks that I would sleeve up at a big event but I figured I would take a break from…

It’s time for some squirrel action, so you can always draw the nuts! Jokes aside, this deck has been racking up results! Crokeyz and DanyTlaw popularized the squirrel and completely put me to shame. If you remember by Kaldheim Constructed…

Hello everyone! Today I’m here to bring you one of Standard’s newest Tier 1 decks. It’s big, it’s mean, it’s a combo killing machine, it’s Naya . All the credit to the concept goes to cftsoc for pioneering the idea…

Hello everyone! Today I’m bringing you the newest version of a deck that hasn’t seen much play since Ikoria, Cycling. Cycling saw super brief success back in Ikoria when Jeskai Lukka was the most popular deck, but fell off quickly…

Hello everyone! I’m back with an update to one of the best rags to riches stories of Kaldheim Standard, Monored Aggro. No matter how good or bad the deck seems to be, many players naturally flock to Monored for its…

Hello everyone! Today I’m excited to talk about a deck I’ve been trying to make work for awhile, but finally have the right metagame to do so. I’m talking about everyone’s favorite pseudo-control deck, Jeskai . Jeskai plays similarly to…

Hello everyone! Today I’m going to go over my build of Sultai Ultimatum. This deck is extremely powerful as resolving a single copy of can pull you out of so many spots and the Ultimatum package doesn’t even take up…

Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to discuss a deck that I predicted could be a real break out in Kaldheim Standard: Temur Song. With a Combo Plan A and a Strong Plan B, Temur Song actually has some real chops…

Hello everyone! It’s about time I made a deck guide on easily the most popular deck coming out of Kaldheim, Izzet Snow. I was hesitant at first since I firmly believed the deck wasn’t very good, and in a lot…

Hello again! Today I got one of my pet decks for you and it’s actually packing a punch. Standard right now is about who goes bigger and faster with , and all these value decks. Here is where a real…

Hello everyone! If you know me well, I have a very astounding love/hate relationship with Mono Red Aggro. On one hand, Mono Red Aggro is one of my, if not my favorite, archetype ever. I play it when it’s good…

Hello peeps, how do you like Kaldheim so far? I am having a great time and one of my favorite cards will be featured in this deck: ! This archetype existed before Kaldheim, too, but playing of the Peaks always…

Hello everyone! Today I’m bringing you the Kaldheim evolution of Gruul Adventures, Naya Adventures. With the introduction of , a card I thought was seriously underappreciated in the spoiler season, Adventures has it’s back and it couldn’t be happier. I…

Kaldheim is here at last! Standard feels like a breath of fresh air and everyone is trying their new brews. But just because a new set has dropped, doesn’t mean decks that have been great will suddenly fall from grace.…

Hello everyone! Today we’re going to talk about a card that’s near and dear to my heart, . For whatever reason, despite Winota being one of the best cards in Standard, she sees extremely little play overall. Maybe people got…

Hello everyone! Let me tell you something, it’s hard being right 100% of the time, a real burden you can say. In my Top Ten Favorite and Best Brews, I slated this neat deck as the number 1 slot on…

Hello everyone! I’m going to do something a little different and go over a deck that I’ve been doing well with on Best of One ladder, something my lovely Best of One players don’t get enough of. For today, we’re…

Hello everyone! Historic is still the format that is the most relevant with the MCQW coming in January, however, the next set of SCG tournaments are all Standard, and I’ve been asked on what decks I like for that. GW…

Does anyone remember a time when decks weren’t just variations of decks? It’s clear why they are. As soon as you pass the turn automatically does its thing and if your opponent can’t sacrifice a permanent you can still instantly…

Scute Swarm is a card that fascinates me because I hear so many players on the casual side of the meta claim that it is extremely overpowered and singlehandedly caused MTG Arena to restrict the amount of tokens players can…

Hello everyone! By nature, I’m a spike and all about being competitive, tuning lists, playing against the best and so on. With that, a lot of my content has been geared towards the more hyper competitive scene of Magic, and…

Hello everyone! I’ve been having a great time in this Standard format so far since it’s been evolving at a rapid rate. Since the popularity of 8 Shark, I’ve been hounded with requests on making it good again, and I…

Hello, planeswalkers from across the globe! Control strategies have been viable in Standard recently in many forms. Big mana tap out lists, flashy Rogues decks, and even some reactive Azorius “land-go” builds have had some competitive success. If you missed…

When I first saw Esper Yorion, I thought the deck was solid but nothing terribly special. Sure you played some decent cards, but the deck as a whole was kind of underwhelming. However, week after week, I keep getting proven…

You thought banning would stop Temur Adventures from existing? Please! According to Obosh, Clover was only holding the deck back! I’m here with a spicy number cooked up by HowlingMines that got them to Rank #128! Furthermore, I saw Kushiro…

I’m a simple man, I play my creature decks and I win matches, it’s how I roll. However, out of every deck I’ve faced recently, this is the one that’s been giving me the most headache. How am I supposed…

It’s time to go big or go home y’all. I was remiss when Temur Ramp, an archetype I previously wrote about and enjoyed, quickly fell out of favor because it struggled in the faster matchups. Ultimatum ain’t cutting it when…

Do you like attacking the meta’s best decks with something it wasn’t expecting, and have a good matchup? Do you like killing people with cards designed for ? Do you want to relive the days where was unbanned? If so,…

Aren’t you guys hungry for some guides, like I am? Well fret not, dear people, Papa Sorq has got something delicious for you that fits the theme: Mono-Green Food! This deck has impressed me quite a bit because the cards…

Hello everyone! I’m back again with the deck that goes bigger than anything else you’re going to face, Temur Ramp! Initially, I wasn’t the most impressed by Temur Ramp as I believed it had a really hard time beating anything…

Hello again everyone! Today I’m bringing you a list that I’m very excited to share, as it’s a strategy that hasn’t seen Standard play in quite awhile, GW Aggro! Now this particular flavor of aggro has a +1/+1 counter subtheme,…
