Magic: the Gathering Standard Deck Update: UW Control

Various Magic: the Gathering tournaments and events had been ongoing on various online platforms on MTG Arena and Magic Online, and the Standard results are continuously updated on the MTG Top 8 website. That is a good site to do some deck references and also get an update on what are the trending cards used in the metagame of formats like Standard and Pioneer.

For today’s Standard deck tech feature, we check on the update for the Blue-White Control in the metagame if it is going on a good finish despite the majority’s preference of having Esper or Grixis tri-color midrange deck archetypes. Its power level might not be convincing, but if it fits your play style then do so and follow this decklist below.
