MTG Crimson Vow Standard Deck December Update: Izzet Delver

Posted on by

One of the Magic: the Gathering Standard decks archetypes under the Izzet colors, in which I am hopeful to be on the Top Tier category, is the Delver deck. The reprint of such a card made me reminisce its first Innistrad days, wherein it was a powerhouse build. It is the same way I am observing the tournament results for its recent build version in the current Standard format.

Today’s Standard tournament result was from the Ma Melee Arena Decembre#4 @ Lord Hebus Magic. The 23-player event is topped by this Izzet Delver deck build where it featured Demilich, a recurring threat that also gets you to recast your instants and sorceries from the yard.

Check out the full Standard decklist below, piloted by Hattori Hanzo.
