Mono White Staxx Deck is Back in Outlaws Standard

Yes, the blog article title says so. The main sponsor that made the deck possible again is the recent Magic: the Gathering set released, Outlaws in Thunder Junction. The new set’s Big Score subset got a few reprints of relevant cards such as the Grand Abolisher which is very huge and powerful. I remembered the first time I made a deck with the card in the Selesnya (Green/White) colors and it performed well against the top-tier decks in the Standard format back in the day.

While we get on the ride with the three-color decks supported by the Streets of New Capenna set, we should also check on what cards from the recent set have become a good upgrade for the current Mono Colored deck builds in the Standard format and maybe for some older ones like Pioneer.

Magic: the Gathering Crimson Vow Standard Mardu Vampires Deck

I have thought of this deck for a while ever since the Innistrad: Crimson Vow card previews started, and it confirmed my thoughts last time that Vampires will get full support in this new Magic: the Gathering set. We had initiated a previous decklist with the Rakdos colors, and the upgrade is adding a third color on White. The main reason is the printing of Edgar, Charmed Groom, and other support Vampires.
