There is a recent article at the Magic: the Gathering mothership website wherein Luis Scott-Vargas discussed the top Ravnica Allegiance Standard decks. One of which is the Mardu Aristocrats deck in which the reference list was that of username Jakedurshimer on MTGO that went on a 5-0 record. He mentioned the game plan of token generation from sources like Elenda, the Dusk Rose and Hero of Precinct One and getting the value with the pump from Judith. There are also similar creature choices to that of the Rakdos Aggro deck I previously posted such as Gutterbones and Footlight Fiend.

Here below is the decklist:

4 Judith, the Scourge Diva
3 Elenda, the Dusk Rose

I continue to find interesting deck builds in Magic: the Gathering Grand Prix tournaments around the world. Another sighting is this midrange build of the Grixis colors (Black/Red/Blue) from GP Atlanta.

The deck, played by Sergio Ferry, almost made it in the Top 8 with just a few decimal points short of the cut-off. Anyhow, here is the decklist:

The recent Standard Anointed Procession Hidden Stockpile tokens deck got a little twist with a splash of Green. The color access opens to the inclusion of the planeswalker Vraska, Relic Seeker which can also generate tokens that benefit the enchantment.
