I have been doing some Magic: the Gathering Standard deck tech videos in the past few days while at the same time checking on the updates of the metagame of the format. While seeing similar top-tier decklists with some slight adjustments i.e. Rakdos Sacrifice & Jund Midrange decks, I am also happy to see unusual deck builds as some ideas are placed into the actual list that is winning in their local and online tournaments.
