While I recommended Vampires last week and still feel it is a good metagame call for next weekend, one archetype stood out to me as a potential deck to play, or at least to test with and see how consistent it is – Bant.

A deck list, primer, and sideboard guide for BR Vampires, a deck that is extremely well-positioned against a metagame full of RUG and Caw-Blade – which is exactly the field I expect after Dallas.

I played the BWG deck (The Brooklyn Bug) at the Chicago MMS Q, and it felt Tier 2 with the possibility of being tweaked and re-tooled to be Tier 1. But moving forward, what deck should I be focusing on? Here's my contenders.

Grand Prix Barcelona certainly did not fail to produce what is sure to be a major metagame shift. So in light of all this new data, what direction will the metagame move next? The deck I am most excited about is an amped up version of the Junk deck.

Ever since Pro Tour Paris, Caw-Blade has been absolutely dominating Standard. With Grand Prix Barcelona this weekend, what non-Caw Blade strategies can shine? Plus Mono Green Infect Control in BSS Draft and more financial advice!

While Boros is strong, I feel like there is a stronger Stoneforge Mystic deck than either Boros or Caw-Blade. I went deep into the tank and brainstormed a handful of promising strategies that may hold the key to breaking Standard wide open.

After doing some testing, I've decided I can easily get behind a plan that involves Steppe Lynx and Lightning Bolt. Also, this week my financial advice for you will focus on what obscure cards you should invest in.

If you have aspirations of winning a tournament anytime soon, the primary goal must be to beat Caw-Go. There are three decks I would personally consider playing in Standard right now.

Today I'm going to talk about EV at TCGplayer 10K Weekends, financial advice, and my choice deck in Standard. This more aggressive version of Caw-Blade to seems very well-positioned right now and there really isn't much that beats it outright.

One thing is for certain: Stoneforge Mystic is as good as she has ever been. Boros, Caw-Go, WW... they all maximize just how great the card is in the format. Let's take a look at what I played in Paris, and how we can improve.

This week I want to talk more about Standard as a whole now that MBS has hit the scene. BUG is still my choice, and even with my underpowered list (suboptimal for the tournament) I came in T8 at the New Orleans $5K.
