The first thing first: browse decklist and deck techs in Kaldheim Standard. I might be playtesting it on my next MTG Arena Mobile stream but we’ll see if the wildcards can cover to complete the decklist. I started with Red Aggro decks and found this guy in a list at MTGTop8.com.

It goes with either a tricky two-drop so you can curve into your Embercleave or a late-game solo threat that Boasts 5/5 Dragons. Still, it is vulnerable to removal for a 2/2 body and makes me personally consider casting it in the late game.

Either way, what makes me consider that the deck would not only go Mono-Red though it will be more consistent but also to explore possibilities of adding other colors while still making it within the Dragons theme. Or let say it will just be a Ramp midrange deck, having Beanstalk Giants to advance and fix your mana sources.

There would be a turn for the opponent to deal with it so we can also go with effects that will give it haste so as to trigger Boast on the same turn it was played. What comes next is to have mana to do that, given that Boast will also require mana to resolve it. We can scratch it and go back to the Midrange monsters or Dragons build.

Kaldheim has a new Goldspan Dragon to work around with and which is already showing its use in Izzet and Temur decks. Surely we should have a playset of it in our list. For now, I have considered about 30% of the deck build so we will just cut it short for now and I will post the full deck list on another blog post.

Thanks for reading today’s rant and until the next post.
