In the current Magic: the Gathering Standard format, the aggro deck archetypes mostly revolve around White and Green in their list. If you’d notice, there are the variance of decks like Azorius, Boros, Orzhov, and Selesnya.

White cards like Luminarch Aspirant, Elite Spellbinder, and Brutal Cathar are some of the relevant components in the build while the rest are solely adjusted to its mana curve to be fast and aggressive as possible. Boros particularly just splashes Red to its build for the Showdown of the Skalds and sideboard options. Orzhov opens access to discard spells i.e. Duress and efficient spot removal such as Vanishing Verse.

In a similar fashion, essential Green card components included in the Gruul, Naya, and Selesnya decks are Prosperous Innkeeper, Jaspera Sentinel. and Esika’s Chariot. These three provide enough card advantage for the decks to ramp up, fix mana and be aggro on the curve.

Here below is an example decklist:

Will this continue in Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty? It probably will unless there is a whole bunch of new deck strategies that the upcoming set will provide. I am excited for the new cards and their mechanics and looking forward to providing preview and analysis as to what kind of Standard deck builds they would fit into.

That is a wrap for now, until the next blog post.
