It is another Magic: the Gathering weekend with the scheduled FNM and Saturday Theros Block constructed, and I have decided to hit the drawing board again and update the decks that are available for the team. As I am usually in-charge of the editing and stuff, I went on to see the current Standard metagame with the winning deck last weekend and checked which builds have made changes.

Mono Red was the star of the three major tournaments and I have adjusted the decks accordingly to the matchup. I have also build Tom Ross’ Boss Sligh to see if it is fast enough to gain some wins on tonight’s FNM Standard. Here are the current Standard decks available:

1. Devotion to Golgari
2. Mono Blue Devo
3. Boss Sligh
4. Jund Monsters
5. Blue White Control
6. Maze’s End

I have also prepared one deck for tomorrows’ Theros Block Constructed and that archetype is Blue White Heroics, based from Martin Juza’s GP Top 16 list. The Naya good stuff deck from last block tournament will now be adjusted to be more of Red Green with Elspeth. I am expecting more aggro decks with Black and Red version tomorrow so the Magma Jets and Lightning Strikes will get more use on these matchups. Probable Theros Block team decks tomorrow are:

1. BUG Control
2. RG Elspeth
3. Mono Black Devotion
4. Blue White Heroics

Lastly, I built a deck for Silver & Black Standard tournament scheduled tomorrow morning just in case they will be not enough participants. The deck is a rendition of Mono Red Devotion but is 30% burn spells. It has a 22 land base and with the top curve of four casting cost for Fanatic of Mogis. I did not intend to build a decent deck but then deck ideas sprung like crazy last night so I had to put it on good use. I am willing to let a beginner pilot this deck if ever they would want to join the tourney.

That is about it for this decks update. Until the next post and enjoy playing Magic this weekend.
