Questing Beast is a beating.. jesus what a card,

It's definitely early, but Golgari Midrange seems like the most consistent deck for the event next week. Having Rotting Dino, Spawn of Mayhem, Questing Beast, and Rankle as early as Turn 3 just seems ridiculous. I know a timely Wrath or Oko can derail the fun but the consistency of having so many ridiculous options and answers tempts me. I really enjoy that Dance deck though.

Started playing MTG Arena over the summer after having not played magic since the early 2000s. What is a good easy mono red standard deck to run right now?

mono red not the healthiest right now, i'd wait a tiny bit to figure out the top tier 'cheap' decks

on eldraine, i'm enjoying it so far, only thing i'm running into that's sort of annoying to play against is flash and mill, everything else is pretty fun games. i'm so glad big tef is gone and it's not esper all over

Hard to tell. Simic ramp is pretty powerful but in two weeks. Who knows.

Simic flash was playable and good pre eldrane and got a shot in the arm with the set, it's a safe bet for a continuous deck.

You could start crafting known staples if you like.

Bonecrusher giant
Questing beast
Murderous Rider
Braden Borrower

These guys will see play their entire time in standard I'd wager.

9 Forest (ANA) 60
6 Mountain (ANA) 59
3 Domri's Ambush (WAR) 192
3 Castle Embereth (ELD) 239
4 Bonecrusher Giant (ELD) 115
4 Gruul Spellbreaker (RNA) 179
4 Growth-Chamber Guardian (RNA) 128
2 Shock (M19) 156

4 Questing Beast (ELD) 171
4 Robber of the Rich (ELD) 138
3 Skarrgan Hellkite (RNA) 114

2 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244

2 Shock (M19) 156

2 Shifting Ceratops (M20) 194

2 Lava Coil (GRN) 108

All the Rares/Mythics in that deck are sort of basic staple type cards, no real weird fringe cards specific to the deck.

I'm bummed that Feather decks are out right now. I loved playing Boros Feather and can't find any competitive lists so far.

I played a match against a dude in the mythic ladder last night that was running it and I shit on him pretty bad. He was mythic 81 percent, which is the lowest I think I have ever seen lol. So he probably got to mythic then just decided to brew/play whatever he wanted and not worry about if it was good or not.

Less than 2 hours on this season, going to sit on my 989 ranking and see if it'll be safe in an hour or so since this MCQ goes down to 1200 instead of 1k like before.

On the play, I played a turn 2 folio of fancies, followed by a turn 3 land...

I played nothing else the rest of the game game, and I won 4 turns later. mill 7, mill 6 mill 6, mill, 6mill.

Oh my god. This card is annoying. I just built a quick deck around it and immediately won two games where people were playing slow burn decks and I milled them super fast. And no Gaea's blessing anymore. I'm sure this gets shit on by a lot of things, but amusing jank.

I'll bet right now that when the meta fleshes out, a field of the dead deck will be in the top 3

(likely #1 i'm just cushing my guestimation)

This card is stupid broke in a Sealed/Draft format. The math does not add up if this was a regular game.

Well for me in constructed rank, here's the best decks

1. golos field of the dead (by a long shot)
2. adventure (jund)
3. invention (prob cav of flame version)

honorable mentions

simic ramp, mono black, esper doom


I stand by what I said, I think field of the dead is going to buttfuck standard just like big tef did. it's the new esper

I should have said this is in ranked constructed (bo1 isn't magic) and honestly the only real problem I have with field decks being #1 is mirror matches take an hour plus to finish and are boring as all hell.
