Tuesday, March 3rd – I talked a little bit last week about a Tezzeret deck I had been working on for Standard, and enough people asked for a primer that I thought I would oblige.

The “dumb aggro†decks that TEPS could feed on have mostly died out or adapted by running Pyrostatic Pillar and sideboarding Ethersworn Canonist, and the Death Cloud decks are on the decline. Right or wrong, TEPS is in a position of prominence as far as its influence in deck and sideboard choice.
