A good point to start is having a look at the in-color Planeswalkers. Really strong win conditions at rare/mythic are always a thing in any given set. Sure, they lose Fumigate as board wipe and Approach of the Second Sun as win condition but core set 19 already offered an alternative to Fumigate in Cleansing Nova. As Blue White control received lots of support over the last couple of sets, expect these decks to stay around. BlueWhite control decks play less creatures, play more removal/counters and play mass removal as 1 or 2 of their rares. The differences should be clear when you take a look at the decklist. BlueWhite controlĪ deck that often get’s lumped in together with the BlueBlack midrange deck, but plays very differently, is the deck as played by Emiel or the one with red splash as played by Joris, both of which made it to the top 8 at the last open. As a last note on UB midrange: it might be possible that it’s a good idea to move away from the blinking and value train of the current style of UB midrange gentry decks and try to build around surveil. If you would like to go deeper to have more answers, the next flavour of deck might be more to your liking. Because of Nightveil Predator we would advise against going too deep on the splash though. This build features Nicol Bolas, the Ravager but Teferi, Hero of Dominaria can be just as solid, just take rares/mythics with a HIGH impact on the game. The choice of rares/mythics, and the respective splash, is a matter of choice and/availability. We present you a decklist of how a UB(x) midrange could look like in Gentry after rotation: On the plus side, the BlueBlack guild, Dimir, has goodies that will fit in this style of deck and one of the most notable cards in that regard is this nigh impossible to kill flyer Nightveil predator. As of yet, there doesn’t seem to be a good replacements for Gifted Aetherborn or Fatal Push (most likely because an early defensive card similar to the aetherborn is going to be found in the white black guild called Orzhov, which will be featured in the set after Guilds of Ravnica). It’s in the early game we see some issues when taking a look at the cards spoiled from Guilds of Ravnica. While a lot people will point at The Scarab God rotating out, the thing that really makes these decks work is a good early defensive plan combined with the card draw and removal to make it to the late game, at which point any bomb can take over but The Scarab God has been exceptionally good and resilient at doing this. These decks are in essence Blue Black midrange value decks centered around removal, creatures with come into play effects that can be re-used by “blink” effects, card draw and solid mythics/rares. We could take the deck played by Cedric in the quarter final or the version played by Peter at the invitational just the same. To get things started, let’s take a look at the deck that took down the last open as played by Sander. (with splash if preferred) – aka Dimir Midrange To find the decks we will be taking a look at, you can use the following links: We will be taking a look at some decklists, see what rotates out and try to come up with new decks for the first Gentry events in October. The goal of this article is to take a look at decks that have been doing well these past months and how they will transition when the new set arrives. For more information on what’s in standard check out this link. In case you are a new player or out of the loop when it comes to standard: when Guilds of Ravnica is released, the 4 oldest sets we had in standard will rotate out: Kaladesh, aether revolt, Amonkhet and Hour of devastation. Yes everyone, it’s the time of year again to say goodbye to loved/hated cards we played in standard for the past 2 years.
