The Magic: the Gathering Strixhaven Championships has just been concluded last weekend with 250 player attendees and was decided by the current two popular formats: Standard and Historic.

In the Standard format portion of the tournament, I have noticed in the Top 8 decks a new build (in my case) of the Jeskai Tempo deck. It utilized two relevant Izzet Mutate creatures, Lore Drakkis and Vadrok, Apex of Thunder, that get you more value in your Instant and Sorcery spells. Vadrok reminds me of the Mantis Rider, which was also a popular Jeskai beater back in the Khans of Tarkir Standard days.

The deck was piloted by two players who were also Top 8 finishers, David Inglis and Matti Kuisma.
