Building Around Nissa And Other Big Amonkhet Bombs

Someone had to say it! Gerry Thompson reminds you that Amonkhet will shake Standard up, no matter what happens to the format’s banned list, and he’s bringing the brews to prove it ahead of SCG Atlanta!

Amonkhet and SCG Atlanta are on their way! The gurus of the VS Series are happy to help you prep the fun way! (The fun way is watching their videos!)

Gods Among Us

The Gods played a big role when they were first introduced as a creature type in Theros block, and it’s a pretty safe bet they’re coming to a battlefield near you! So how would you rank Amonkhet’s most indestructible entities? Adrian Sullivan has his breakdown for you here!

New Amonkhet Archetypes

Zombies? Yeah, Gerry’s on that. The return of Aetherworks Marvel? Of course! A control deck that counters Felidar Sovereign into next week? Please. Gerry Thompson is only getting started, but that means his famous tattered deck notebook is ready for his loyal readers!

The Boss VS. Ross: Esper Drake Haven VS. R/B Aggro Featuring Amonkhet!

It’s another round of Amonkhet VS! Tom “The Boss” Ross is ready to cycle cards and make some Drakes. But will his Esper Drake Haven deck be able to withstand Ross Merriam’s R/B Aggro brew?

Mono-White Humans And More!

The Boss doesn’t like decks that can make Top 32 and Top 16; he wants to win the trophy or pump the gas for the trip home. Mono-White Humans is one of the archetypes he’s used to reduce the space on his mantle, and he’s pretty sure Amonkhet is going to put that strategy back in the hunt!
