The coming of Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths has opened new deck possibilities with the new mechanics (Companion, Mutate, Cycling) and cards to work around and explore. The Standard format, in particular, is the front line beneficiary of these deck ideas. That does not mean though that we will go all out with the Rares and Mythics and other expensive cards in the set. Playing in the format on a strict budget is still very viable.
