Then of course on the other side of the coin, there are a few aggressive decks that can’t beat out the top contenders. Missing crucial cards like Expressive Iteration and Prismari Command are massive drawbacks to playing any control shell without red. However both decks fail to compete against any form of Izzet Control variant. The new Dimir list that is running around on Arena has a similar advantage. Mono-Black Control is a list that looks to have some legs with an extremely favorable matchup against the two top aggro decks. When it comes to rogue decks, there are a ton of options that are just so very close to being competitive, but just miss the mark. With Luminarch Aspirant and Intrepid Adversary pumping up the board, Mono-White is a great choice for those hoping to grind out the ranked ladder. Elite Spellbinder and Skyclave Apparition are the top-end of the list, and are the main forms of interaction for the deck. Fateful Absence is an amazing card that allows the deck to battle against planeswalkers as well as other creature decks. The other benefit to playing Mono-White is having access to the disruptive spells that green can’t get. Other options like Chaplain of Alms, Battlefield Raptor and Monk of the Open Hand are all great options as well, depending on how the deck is built. Usher of the Fallen and Stonebinder’s Familiar are the one-drops that Mono-White loves to see in their opening hand. Mono-White gets on the ground running from turn one and never looks back. The difference between the two lists is that Mono-White is a bit faster thanks to its overloaded one-drop slot. Much like it’s green cousin, Mono-White Aggro is an aggressive deck that wants to kill the opponent before they know what happened. Mono-Green is an excellent choice in the meta right now, and should remain one of the best decks for the next few weeks. Mono-Green Snow even has access to a small suite of removal spells in Blizzard Brawl and Inscription of Abundance. With Ranger’s Class and format all-star Esika’s Chariot completely blank wraths, and can even serve as important stop-gaps against other aggro decks. Old-Growth Troll is an absolute menace against decks that are trying to trade one for one with spot removal. The threats in this deck are a pain to deal with. Mono-Green can adjust its gameplan if the matchup calls for it, making it a difficult deck to sideboard against. The game plan is very simple – play on-curve creatures to beat down the opponent before they can have an answer. Mono-Green Aggro is the go-to option for those players who hate the idea of playing basic Island. Mono-Green Aggroįor every great control list, there is a comparable aggro list to keep each other in check. Right now, Izzet decks are the deck to beat in Standard. Having any two-mana spell to leave up with the treasure token ensures that the dragon sticks. Once Goldspan Dragon hits the battlefield, the game is typically all but locked up. Give the 4/4 flier an additional turn and two extra bird tokens, and the deck wins almost on the spot. Goldspan Dragon takes to the skies to make quick work of any opponent. Speaking of which, what better way to end a game than to take multiple turns in a row. Expressive Iteration is always just a solid draw spell, but Memory Deluge adds even more digging power to find the next piece of interaction or a way to close out the game. Cards like Divide by Zero and Prismari Command allow players to respond to any situation because they can find the right answer – whether it is already in their deck or from their sideboard. Izzet control is powered by it’s combination of great board control and reliable win conditions. There are several variations of the list, including Yuta Takashashi’s World Championship build that is listed above, and they are all incredibly dominant. Topping the Standard tier list for October is none other than Izzet Control.
