Probably the most basic and convenient kind of Magic: the Gathering deck is the Aggro or Creature-based strategy. The idea of just casting and attacking with your dudes is like doing a Magic: the Gathering tutorial with your kid or a neighbor’s nephew. What makes this complicated and up to the next level is how your critters interact, or you put in cards that get you an added advantage as you make the combat step more interactive.

For a Magic: the Gathering Standard metagame update, the cycle of rock-papers-scissors is still in effect and observed. Aggro decks are being trumped by Sultai and Jeskai Control or Ultimatum versions. On the other end, a few midrange decks with Negates feed on these slow Ultimatum decks while Rogues are a little in between. They might win some or lose some in this matchup.

For today’s blog post, here is one decklist that I think will be my next Standard deck project just before Throne of Eldraine leaves the format. The deck is Naya Adventures and here below is the full decklist.
