Eight Standard Decks Built Around Amonkhet

Amonkhet may be only halfway revealed, but that’s not stopping Michael Majors from going full throttle on his Standard experimentation! Today he reveals eight creations that range from pragmatic updates to beautifully bonkers brews!

How Amonkhet Will Change Standard

Standard is due for a shake-up, and Amonkhet is poised to deliver! See where Sam Black thinks the metagame might go, from cycling bringing back control to a critical mass of one-drops sparking Mono-Red Aggro!

Will As Foretold Break Modern?

If Wizards of the Coast wants to give Pro Tour Champion Shaun McLaren a card like As Foretold, who is he to turn it down? The clever Canadian promptly set about breaking the Amonkhet card in Modern, and he’s ready to show his hilarious and awesome results!

Five Challengers For Amonkhet Standard

Ross Merriam is ready to rip up the old Standard! But what could topple Mardu Vehicles and Four-Color Saheeli? Today he presents five decks that could break up the format’s terrifying tag-team, from classic Mono-Red Aggro to Cycling Control!

Tom VS. Todd: W/G Humans VS. Jund Energy With Amonkhet!

It’s another Amonkhet brew battle! Tom “The Boss” Ross has updated W/G Humans with mana accelerator Channeler Initiate and a host of support cards. Will his deck withstand Todd Anderson’s Jund Energy and the power of Glorybringer?

Amonkhet Financial Set Review, Part 1

Chas Andres is already planning his Amonkhet shopping spree! Which cards is he passing on at current prices? What is he fine buying at current retail? And what are his picks to buy and hold? Part 1 of your essential Amonkhet finance guide is here!

Amonkhet Decks And Analysis!

Patrick Chapin has gone Cat crazy over Regal Caracal! But that’s not the only surprise lurking in his first Amonkhet brewing blockbuster. Is Manglehorn the unsung key to Standard’s future? And the Cartouche and Trial cycles can’t be Constructed-worthy…can they? Patrick has it all here!

Todd VS. Ross: U/R Dynavolt VS. W/B Aggro, Featuring Amonkhet!

It’s a taste of Amonkhet Standard on VS! Working from early previews, Todd Anderson built a U/R Dynavolt deck with Glorybringer. How will it fare against Ross Merriam’s W/B Aggro deck with Cast Out and Gideon of the Trials?

Assembling Control Decks With Amonkhet

Control decks have had a rough time of it lately, but Adrian Sullivan sees hope on the horizon! Will Essence Scatter and other Amonkhet cards get control mages back to doing what they love best? He puts all five colors under the microscope to find out which can best get the job done!

The Return Of Red Aggro With Amonkhet

Some people just want to watch the Standard metagame burn. Gerry Thompson takes a close look at the red cards of Amonkhet, divides them into “packages” that might slot into decks, and provides a pair of decklists for your consideration!

Todd VS. Brad: Miracles VS. Sneak And Show!

Before SCG Worcester, it’s one last Legacy VS! Todd Anderson wants to cast Miracles off the top of his deck for cheap, but will Brad Nelson and his Sneak and Show deck give him the chance?

Boss Previews: Liliana, Siege-Cat Commander, And More!

Tom “The Boss” Ross has his eyes on the Amonkhet previews! How will Cast Out and cycling duals shape control decks? Are Gideon of the Trials and Glorybringer as powerful as they seem? And is the second coming of eighteen-land Boss Sligh archetype at hand?

Magic: The Gideoning

Brad has some great new decks that feature everyone’s favorite planeswalker! Or least favorite, depending sort of where you stand at the moment. Just kidding! How can anyone not love Gideon?! I mean, he’s Gideon! Gideon, Gideon, Gideon, Gideon, Gideon, Gideon…

Essence Scatter? Throw Me A Frickin’ Bone Here!

Jim Davis is one of those players that just loves a good counterspell! So he gets a very good one this time around! It counters Saheeli Rai and Gideon, Ally of Zendikar! What’s that? It doesn’t? Well, Jim is going to build cool decks with it anyway!

All Hail Glorybringer, Gideon’s Bane

As sick as people get of Cats and pushed planeswalkers, Dragons don’t really have that problem. Seeing a Dragon smash someone never gets old! Which is why Todd Anderson is putting together decks with the Amonkhet Dragon the Multiverse can’t wait to cast!
