Decklists
We covered some potential things you can be doing back in February when the Theros event came around. As such, we tried to showcase a variety of options to exploit the Treasure Tokens. For this event, Agent of Treachery was added to the existing banlist, which is the talk of Standard at the moment. Being able to ramp into it even faster will not make for a fun time! Addition of Companions also change the deck building dynamics a bit, since theoretically you could even include them in decks that don’t belong in their colors. Otherwise, the event is pretty flexible in terms of what you can do and aggro decks such as Mono Red or Lurrus Sacrifice seem to be a good first choice if you want to get the event over and done with quickly.
