Looking upon the results of this weekend’s Magic: the Gathering Standard tournaments online, we discovered a deck that preyed on the dominance of the aggro decks in the metagame. The deck is Rakdos Sacrifice, which the build is more inclined in dealing, and turning opponents’ threats into your own. It was piloted by John Alexander wherein he finished first place after defeating the various aggro matchups such as Boros Winota, Mono-Green, Gruul Aggro, and Temur Lukka in the playoffs.

Check out the full Magic: the Gathering Standard decklist below.
