Since Devotion has been the trend since Pro Tour Theros, a lot of deck archetypes have been sprouting here and there in major Standard tournaments around the world. A recent ongoing event is at SCG Open Los Angeles at Stan Lee’s Comikaze Expo, wherein these deck types are still the top choices of the players.

The one of which that I will share in this blog post is James Gates’ take on Red Devotion. He decided to include White as splash color for access to Chained to the Rocks & Boros Charm. Here is his deck tech video below.
