AuthorMatt Higgs

Louisville native Matt Higgs has loved designing innovative, unique, and synergy-driven decks that put untapped cards in the limelight since embarking on his Magic career in 2006. He has experienced both fulfilling successes and crippling failures that come from building decks from scratch and putting them to test, and he's loved them both. A lifelong writer, Matt has contributed to SCG every single week since November 2012.

My Delirium, Part 2

Matt Higgs continues his great brewing work with the new delirium mechanic! Which of these builds do you think has the best chance of a breakout in Standard?

My Delirium, Part 1

Matt Higgs is positively delirious. He has loads of brews that he’s ready to unleash upon those interested in taking on the #SCGMKE Standard Classic! And what do they have in common? Look and find out!

The Madness In Standard

We’re a few weeks into Shadows over Innistrad Standard, and the madness mechanic has yet to make a huge impact. Matt Higgs wants to change that at #SCGStates, but he needs your help!

Gitrog Frog Brews

Is there a more popular card in Shadows over Innistrad right now than this monster? The Frog Horror that everyone loves has inspired Matt Higgs to do some #SCGINVI deckbuilding!

New Standard Allies

The Allies of Battle for Zendikar block are feeling a bit left out. Is it possible they got more new synergies than we’re noticing? Matt Higgs investigates the notion of tribal Allies at #SCGBALT!

A Change Of Scenery

There’s a special kind of player that just loves mill strategies! Matt Higgs is willing to step into that role in order to play with Shadows over Innistrad’s new toys in Standard!

The Gatewatch Finale

Inspired by the recent surge in great Magic storytelling, Matt Higgs joins The Gatewatch one last time before Innistrad takes over! What fate (and decklist) will befall our heroes?

No Remorse

Matt Higgs can be quite the rogue, and not just when it comes to his deck choices. For instance, did you know that he loves dishing out Remorseless Punishment to his Standard foes? See his sinister build before you punish #SCGINDY this weekend!

The Gatewatch Returns!

Early on in Oath of the Gatewatch Standard we saw a lot of brews try to combine the various Oath cards to try to gain a huge competitive advantage. Matt Higgs continues trying to fight for the good guys with these new lists!

Standard Needs More Eldrazi!

Matt Higgs has noticed that the Eldrazi are all over the Eternal formats, but they’re seldom found in large Standard quantities. He aims to fix that with some brews that are relatively easy on the wallet and on the eyes!

Turning Standard Upside Down

With the Eldrazi menace on the loose, Modern has become a dangerous place for brewers. Still, Standard has lots of room to play with new Eldrazi! Matt Higgs is turning Standard upside down just in time for the #SCGPHILLY Standard Classic!

Making Landfall At #SCGLOU’s Standard Classic

Landfall had a good run in Standard for a few short weeks, but it’s largely fallen out of flavor. Is going bigger the way to bring it back? Matt Higgs investigates the possibility of a #SCGLOU Standard Classic landfall list!

Big And Fast Ramp

The big monsters are all over Modern, but Matt Higgs wants to take a few of the principles that make those decks great and mess with them in Standard! Help him prep and tweak these new ramp decks!

The Groundhog Day Brew Review

If there’s one thing a brewer hates, it’s being too repetitive. They want new cards, new combos, new lines of play. Matt Higgs is always looking ahead, but today, he’s looking back to update the brews that are in need of a rework!

Standard Scions

Still got a bunch of Eldrazi Scion tokens lying around from Prereleases? Matt Higgs wants to put them to use! See the token-infused Alien brew he’s worked up for #SCGCOL this weekend!
