  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ค. 2023
  • What was the best deck ever? We started with the 27 Standard decks to win a World Championship, played five rounds of Swiss, and now bring you each match of the Top 8. Andrea Mengucci is Playing Thoralf Severin here and either Siege Rhino or Hazoret could be knocked out of the tournament.

    Game 1 honestly felt like it was in the pocket for abzan so much value but it just goes to show how insanely resilient Hazored was even in aggro mode. This is a really great series because decks like Hazored that just pushed every other deck out of the meta were so hard to evaluate on a raw power level, seeing them up against other lists is amazing.

The reach that the ruins gave the decks was unbeatable and people started to innovate and add eldrazi into the sideboard because of the 8 colorless lands. It became very problematic because the khenra coming back gave very good late game. Combined with the land it had staying power. Probably one of the best standard decks of all time

      Ramunap red made up lile 6 of the top 8 when it was legal. It was as opressive as hogaak, just not as visibly due to a single playpiece. Sligh was always the deck that would perpetually occupy at least second place, no matter the meta, and amon khet pushed it over the edge to 'would perpetually win, no matter the meta'.

      yes, 100%. I was surprised that prismatic black and abzan control made top 8 honestly. I thought some of the older decks would dominate with the old broken cards. Also, a lot of the 'control' decks had answers specific to their meta that I figured would be a handicap for them.

    This will be a fascinating series to watch! I feel like the decks from recent sets (i.e. in the last 5 years or so) would be at an advantage over the others due to the drastic shift in power level and gradual erosion of the colour pie during that time, especially post-2020.

    I really loved Abzan's entire run in standard. The core cards of the deck (particularly Siege Rhino) were so flexible that they could slot just as easily into an aggro build as they could in the control build featured in the video. I played Abzan Aggro at my first ever GP with two copies of Surrak, the Hunt Caller for a bit of spice - Curving a turn 3 Anafenza into a turn 4 Surrak would end games very quickly!
