Normally Mono Black has an ok curve, but great interaction, but this time around it’s the opposite. Out of all the decks, Mono Black probably has the best curve and you still get access to 4 Murder to clean up any creature in your way.

It’s common you get to play Mono Red in these events and this is no exception! You don’t have as nice as a curve as Mono Black, but you get access to a litany of removal spells which is certainly great and your late game threats are substantially better!

For the final deck of the list, we are modifying the Mono Green shell to still be rampy, but have a lot more play to it! With Naya, we get access to better mid game threats and better interaction which could be invaluable in the faster matchups.

My Top Picks

Compared to a lot of the other constructed events, I feel like this format is going to be appreciably weaker/slower. The monocolored cards weren’t that great for the most part and the 3 color decks have relatively shaky mana. Furthermore, the interaction also seems to be lacking as well so I believe it’s mostly going to come down to who has the best threats. With that metric in mind, here are my top 5.

1. Azorius Tempo
2. Mono Red Aggro
3. Mono Green Ramp
4. Esper Midrange
5. Jund Midrange

If we’re seeing who has the best threats, I think it’s Jund by a long shot. Most of your threats dodge Strangle, hit very hard, and you get access to Ob Nixilis, the Adversary which is obviously great.

Thank you for reading!
