Help us welcome Worlds Top 8 finisher Lukas Jaklovsky to the TCGplayer staff! - I believe that UB is still the best deck in the current Standard, even though the metagame shift was quite huge. Let's discuss the versions that are still winning, and find one we like.
Recently, I have stumbled upon a UW list that didn't quite look like most of the other lists and seemed to do a pretty fair share of winning as well, but this is not your traditional control brew.
I don't want to play nice anymore. I want to be the person casting Lotus Cobra instead of the person dying to it. The highlights of BUG are its incredible sideboard, and both the individual and synergistic power of each of its cards.
All this week we are highlighting the best articles of 2010. Today we present Nick Spagnolo's widely acclaimed look at Blue spells in Standard. This article defined the timing of Jace and Preordain.
I am convinced BUG is the best deck in Standard right now. Today I give an in-depth look at each of its matchups and its overall position in the current metagame. Here's the current decklist.
The standard environment is pretty much set right now. A 'stable' environment with well-defined metagame, that's just perfect hunting grounds for new rogue strategies. It's time to go on the attack.
The bottom line is that Soul Sisters can do very powerful things and does so against a majority of the metagame. It seems like a waste to horde the new tech to myself, so here's an updated list.
I was pretty high on BUG after having moderate success with it in my final week of preparation. Then through a series of brewing, testing, getting rolled and finding the true decks, I learned what Standard really is all about.
Valakut was very clearly the enemy heading into Worlds, and it being one third of the metagame proved that theory. But the biggest thing I learned was about U/W compared to U/B, and the need to curve out.
Not only does Standard have about six decks that are actually able to compete consistently, Extended is right around the corner and it's much, much better than I ever thought it would be.
