Officially enrolling at the School of Urban and Regional Planning for the Masteral course of the same field means that I am sacrificing a part of my weekend again for the weekly class. The schedule is every Continue reading
The inevitable rotation of the Standard format will be on this coming October 4th wherein it is the same date that Throne of Eldraine will be legal to play. After two years of enjoyment in gameplay, we say goodbye to the sets Continue reading
October 4th will be the date that Throne of Eldraine is legal to play in Standard and other formats of Magic. That means we barely have a week to complete the planned Standard decks that the team is building. I decided to build a decklist for the Mono-Red Aggro as it is the first expected deck for my card pool to build. Unfortunately, I think I have not placed my preorders just yet as I lack funds to prepay for them. I guess we’ll just try our luck in the Prerelease for now.
Here below is the decklist:
4 Bonecrusher Giant
4 Runaway Steamkin
4 Torban, Thane of Red Fell
4 Scorch Spitter
2 Rimrock Knight
4 Shock
4 Skewer the Critics
4 Slaying Fire
1 Fling
1 Red Cap Melee
3 Light up the Stage
3 Experimental Frenzy
18 Mountains
4 Castle Embereth
Me being a fan of a few one-of spells had decided to implement it again here. Expect that my sideboard would also look the same and I will post it once I will get a total review of the metagame. I am not in particular of the creature curve but this version relies more on straight burn plan. I might get to stick a few creatures late game, especially Torban which makes the damage from spells more effective.
Bonecrusher Giant is the best card advantage 3-drop here as you can just deal 2 and then cast the 4/3. Also, we still have the frenzy and Light up the Stage for gas. I am doubtful though to cut the enchantment to just two as we have a higher mana curve unlike before that we swarm with one-drops and two-drops.
Anywho, we will still be playtesting this build once completed so it will still be subject to edits and updates.
That is about it for now. Until the next blog post and good luck on your pulls on this coming Prerelease.
While we expect Mono Red and Izzet as surviving decks in Throne of Eldraine Standard, we check on what to utilize from the new card components. Today’s card preview looks to be an important part of these Continue reading
