Magic: The Gathering VOW Standard – Mono Blue Aggro

Posted on by

The Mono-Color deck archetypes in the current Magic: the Gathering Standard format lean on Green, White, and Red for the aggro category and Black for the Midrange bracket. The lesser choice, Blue, is dependent on what card components the current set offers. The good news, though, is that it is seeing gameplay in the current Standard which we will have in today’s Standard deck feature.

The decklist was referenced from the MTG Top 8 website on the Japanese tournament named “83rd Event @ Friday Asim Magic”. I usually dig through these Japanese websites for this kind of event to look for unusual deck builds, and they did not disappoint. The good thing is that it was posted on a website where I did not need to do some text translation. Anywho, the deck build caters to the tribal Spirits creature type and uses tempo and Flash creatures to outmaneuver opponents’ board.
