The three remaining non-ramp one-of decks were Simic Flash, Azorius Blink, and Rakdos Knights.
While Simic Flash is another green and blue deck, it draws its power from cards not named Uro and Growth Spiral, Ninjor’s build of Simic Flash varied from the one Seth Manfield, Javier Dominquez, and Brad Nelson popularized at Mythic Championship VII, opting for Brineborn Cutthroat, Spectral Sailor, and Wildborn Preserver instead.

Sideboard
Azorius Blink is the lone true brew from the field of 10-match winners, taking advantage of Thassa, Deep-Dwelling in combination with creatures like Agent of Treachery, Elite Guardmage, Charming Prince, and Fblthp, the Lost. Outside of the value blink shenanigans, it’s still an Azorius-based deck utilizing Teferi, Time Raveler, Elspeth Conquers Death, and Time Wipe.
Creatures (21)
- 3 Fblthp, the Lost
- 4 Elite Guardmage
- 1 Cavalier of Dawn
- 3 Agent of Treachery
- 4 Charming Prince
- 2 Brazen Borrower
- 4 Thassa, Deep-Dwelling

Lastly, Rakdos Knights is the only other aggressive deck to go alongside Mono-Red Aggro. The Knight tribal deck leverages non-Knights like Dreadhorde Butcher, Gutterbones, Robber of the Rich, and Rotting Regisaur in conjunction with Embercleave to get the opponent dead as soon as possible. The deck runs no removal in the maindeck, with its only other spell being Drill Bit.
Creatures (28)
- 4 Gutterbones
- 4 Dreadhorde Butcher
- 4 Rotting Regisaur
- 4 Knight of the Ebon Legion
- 4 Robber of the Rich
