Besieged Standard Decks


Here is an update of the top Mirrodin Besieged-updated Standard decks in the current metagame, as revealed by the recent Pro Tour Paris and SCG 5k tourneys. To give you a quick overview, the deck tech of Blue White control which debuted in PT Paris made a quick meta change in the format and made the ramp decks look so puny. Let me give you a few decklist to start.

First is Paul Rietzl’s Boros aggro which got second place in PT Paris.
