I have been looking for improvements on some of the Standard decks I have posted before on this blog by looking at Magic: the Gathering tournament results posted at the MTG Top 8 website and on MTGO. It is to look for some comparisons if what I have thought of a decklist is the same and will perform well in the actual event.
I have checked upon this decklist from the tournament called “Open-Sponsored by Ultra Pro @TCG Studios / Degen Gaming” and was piloted by Tom Maxwell. The deck is Boros Aggro and finished in 2nd place. The main White card components are still composed in the same lineup like that of Mono-White aggro and the Red cards added are Rabbit Battery and playset of Kumano Faces Kakkazan. The Red Saga gives a boost of +1/+1 to your creature curve if played on turn one, and entering turn three, becomes a 2/2 Haste creature with a passive ability to disrupt the Dies effect. This is the strategy that is effective against Rakdos Sacrifice and Orzhov Midrange utilizing Learn mechanic.
Check out below the full decklist of the updated Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Standard Boros Aggro deck.
