A Few Magic: the Gathering websites are usually a goldmine when they have this feature of their patrons and visitors submitting their decklist ideas. Aside from the Top Tier decks in the Standard format, for instance, you can also check on some build strategies that you may have missed out on. Expect them though to be lesser in power as compared to the current metagame decks.

What fascinates me when building Magic: the Gathering Standard decks is the color splashing that they do to be efficient in countering other metagame decks. Adding a third color goes beyond the traditional build with the minimal drawback of not getting the right lands for example. In today’s Standard AFR deck feature, we have a Gruul Aggro list that went “dark” by having access to Black’s strong spot removals. Not to mention the main deck Valki, God of Lies.
