The continuous development of the decks in the current Magic: the Gathering Standard format is very satisfying. Browsing through several MTG Youtubers’ deck tech runs on Magic Arena, it is certain that there is a wide range of deck strategies that can be worked with, even with the limited sets available.

Today’s deck feature spotlights on an unusual build for this color combination. What we would expect of the Selesnya archetype as based on the previous decklists, is the tokens route with Chariots and Wrenn for the late game plan strategy. This list below, however, goes with the life gain route. Each life gain triggers get its creatures +1/+1 counters. Kind of messy to deal with right?
