Magic: the Gathering Streets of New Capenna Standard Deck : 4C Reanimator

Hello guys, welcome to the blog and today’s Magic: the Gathering Standard deck feature is from the recently concluded New Capenna Championships. The deck build was included in the list of best-performing decks in the Standard portion of the event, having a five matchup wins in total. The deck is 4C-Reanimator and was played by Kevin Mittertreiner.

What is interesting about the deck is that it utilizes a reanimation spell from an unusual color theme: White. The card is Invoke Justice from Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty and it has two major beefy targets in the deck that can be reanimated into the battlefield by as early as turn four. Titan of Industry has an impactful ETB effects aside from its 7/7 Trampling power, and the Strixhaven Dragon Velomachus Lorehold can run in both reanimated or hard-casted. Its attack trigger can basically let you cast Invoke Justice from the top card of your library for free and maybe return a Titan in the process.

The deck also has several ways to mana ramp via Treasure-generation effects with cards like Big Score, and Seize the Spoils. To prevent board setup, mass removal spells were also included in the main and more spot removals as additional options in the sideboard.

Check out the full decklist below and stay tuned as I might do a more detailed deck discussion video in the coming days.
