Matt Higgs is well-known for his love of tempo decks, and in a wide-open format where you can do practically anything, of course that’s what he wants to do first. Check his list out and give it a try before #SCGStates this weekend!
Standard appears to be waiting for the Pro Tour to tell us what the format is all about, but Mark Nestico has to test for #SCGStates this weekend now just like the rest of us. He shares his thoughts on what the format is all about and his current deck of choice for Standard!
Now that Levi has gotten settled in to Dear Azami, he’s ready to take on some serious old-school challenges… like today’s Chainer, Dementia Master deck!
Week One of the Battle for Zendikar Standard format showed us the defining decks to start with, and Week Two allows us time for refinement. Tom “The Boss” Ross improved G/W Megamorph by adding a little blue mana, check it out for this weekend’s #SCGStates!
While early results can be fleeting, Cedric Phillips does not think that will be true for G/W Megamorph’s strong showing in the first two weeks of Standard play. Check out why he thinks the deck will come out on top this weekend at #PTBFZ and #SCGStates, and the list he’d play for either!
Anthony Lowry is not one to make a called shot lightly, but he has found the right Modern deck for him to play this weekend at #SCGStates and it’s time to call it.
We’ve seen Bring to Light make a little Standard noise, but is it time for the Elf tribe to return to glory? #SCGStates is nearing, and these two pros show you the skills you’ll need to conquer it!
Want a deck that isn’t Megamorphing or trying to splash black in Jeskai? GerryT shows off a great run at the Open Series last weekend that you can take to #SCGStates!
Danny West examines the role of green cards in current Magic. Is green occupying too much of the color pie? Has R&D pushed the color too far? Is G/W Megamorph the only way to go for #SCGStates this weekend?
What did Chas buy that he’s so convinced will yield a great return? It’s an accessible and easily exploitable Magic good hiding in plain sight! Chas shows you how to invest in a way too many players are ignoring!
Cedric Phillips sits down with Patrick “PSulli” Sullivan to go over the results of #SCGINDY, discuss the notion that Magic players try to mislead players in their writing/deck selection, and analyze the recent changes to SCG Organized Play.
Pro Tour Champion Ari Lax checked out BFZ Limited at the GP this past weekend and was promptly squashed. Read the crucial learning points of navigating the format before Grand Prix Atlanta!
Sometimes Abe’s Random Commander Challenge yields a complete dud that he has to get creative with. And sometimes, it hits him with a popular powerhouse like Sydri! See the new and creative direction he takes her before you hit up Grand Prix Atlanta’s Commander Celebration!
With G/W Megamorph and Jeskai Black clearly at the top of the metagame charts, a deck that can beat them both is going to be worth paying attention to. Today’s deck seems to be designed with its position against both well in mind, making it a good deck to consider testing for #SCGStates this weekend!
