Wizards of the Coast announced the latest product this year that will surely allow players, old school or novice, to try and participate in the Standard format. These are the Magic: the Gathering Challenger Decks 2020. Quoting from their feature article on the mothership site, “These four individual 75-card decks are geared toward Standard play for the Friday Night Magic player and forged out of some of the most recognizable strategies in Standard.” Each of the four harnesses the gameplay of each of the current tier decks in the format.
Each Challenger Deck comes in a complete ready-to-play package with a 60-card main deck and a 15-card sideboard. This is most suggested to those players who are still building their collection and are eager to join their first ever Magic tournament.
The product release date is on April 3, 2020, so I’d suggest that you place your preorder already at your nearest Magic Gamestore.
As for the decklist, I will share only one that I prefer on my playstyle and card value of the deck components. The deck is Cavalcade Charge simply known as Red Deck Wins. See the list below.
