Hey guys, I am sharing today a Magic: the Gathering decklist for the Standard format which strategy has adapted the aggressive aspect of the Riveteers colors in Streets of New Capenna. By its meaning, the decklist consist of the creature curve of that family colors and also utilizing a late-game Blitz creatures plan and a flipped Fable of the Mirror-Breaker. Of course, the meathook added to the spice up the damage race.

Check out the decklist below played by username Doom for the May 2022 Ranked Season.

I think this will be a fond deck of choice for the Magic Arena Standard format gameplay and also on MTGO. Arena, having wildcards to burn for the expensive Meathook Massacre, is pretty much the practical way to have these cards added to the collection. I have also read from a tweet of its high win rate against the current metagame, especially on the Esper Aggro matchup. That said, you can share your insights and experiences of this deck build if ever you were able to try this on your MTG Arena grind.

That is a wrap-up for now, we will have another deck post update once adjustments are again implemented. Until next time.

One of the deck archetypes that I am looking to build in the Streets of New Capenna Standard is the Naya or Cabaretti Aggro. The current support lands to these colors are already stable enough, and with the new tri-land inclusion and some Treasure-producing creatures, it is now possible to curve an aggressive start for an aggro deck build. That is also with fewer worries about the color screw.

Here below is what I think the decklist would look like. Do take note of the new Capenna cards added.

The main deck’s typical lineup of mana dudes to ramp out the best creatures and Esika’s Chariot as early as possible. With the same enough mana, various cards can be combined and more tokens can be generated.

Jetmir, Nexus of Revels is the superstar creature in the deck, providing pump effects and more so if you control six or more and nine or more creatures. Jinnie Fay acts as a major token converter with the choices of 2/2 hasty Cats or 3/1 vigilant Dogs. Having spare Treasure tokens turned into creatures is just a good advantage.

The deck’s utility cards such as Cabaretti Charm, Valorous Stance, Fable of the Mirror Breaker, Wedding Announcement, and The Wandering Emperor are to be used for various board scenarios i.e. spot removal, generating more creature token threats, etc.

Overall, the Cabaretti Aggro is a recommended aggro deck build for a new look and feel of the cards from the Streets of New Capenna set. Let me know what you think of this list and what you would recommend in the comment box below.

That is a wrap for now, until the next blog post.

I created an account and started playing Magic Arena back in its closed Beta days and I really enjoyed this online platform and gameplay. The problem that time though was that the game was forcing me to spend money in order to build a better and competitive deck. I had the freebies card pool that I worked around in building my decks but it was mostly composed of mediocre cards. In my open matchups, I am always completely destroyed by the better card-value decks which got me frustrating. Thus, I quit and uninstalled the game.

Months after, I always looked at Magic: the Gathering Arena gameplay hosted by these various Twitch streamers and competitive tournaments like the recent Mythic Championships II hosted under the same platform. Arena can easily show deck techs and decklists of Top 8 players in a form that is presentable and nice-looking, especially to those who is just new to the game. The rising popularity has somewhat made me consider playing it again.

The current constraints, however, is time and budget. We shall see what will be my decision in the coming weeks.
