Theros Beyond Death Fresh new decks
Theros Beyond Death brings in a lot of interesting cards to the Standard pool. While some prefer waiting for the next tourney lists to see what to play, the early days after a new set gets released are the brewer's paradise. Today we will look at decks made by content creators for the streaming event where hundreds of Twitch streamers participate to show off the new set.
Therealkilladub
Starting off with Therealkilladub who consistently has top placements in the Mythic ladder and spends a lot of time brewing and also streams on Twitch.tv and is part of the Team Aether streaming Team. He has come up with some really solid decklists that he wants to share with you all. I am in particular excited to play his Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger
which I requested a build for, he had a different take on it than I expected.
This is KillaDubs take on Bant Flash utilizing Flicker of Fate
to get extra ETB triggers from Frilled Mystic
and Angel of Grace
. Flicker is also pretty decent at saving Nightpack Ambusher
from removal. Flash is a very solid strategy because it enables you to play reactively. For instance, if your opponent decides to try and play around your counterspells by being patient and waiting for an opening. Then you just flash in threats such as Brazen Borrower
, Nightpack Ambusher, or Angel of Grace at their end step. Also Frilled Mystic is a great 2 for 1 by not only providing a body to attack and block with but also by countering your opponent's spell. This deck literally gives you 9 lives with 4 Angel of Grace and 4 Flicker of Fate.

KillaDub loves blue so much you could say that he is devoted to blue. The next deck takes this devotion to the next level by trying to make it the win-con! While you could end the game by stealing your opponent's good cards and killing them with Mass Manipulation
or, Agent of Treachery
the way you want to win is with Thassa's Oracle
. I can't wait to tap the Nyx Lotus
and see how much mana I will be able to generate.

This deck is just pure evil. The premise is to make the opponent discard all of their cards, and then watch them suffer while Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage
tortures them during their upkeep. Any creatures or planeswalkers to hit the board on your opponent's side of the field are likely to get destroyed by Ritual of Soot
or Murderous Rider
. If they still have any cards in hand, or creatures/planeswalkers on turn 5, then Nicol Bolas
will finish the job.

RatsRelyk
RatsRelyk is another Team Aether member who is playing in the Streamer Prerelease event has built some interesting decks based on the new cards, he also includes writeups in the decklists so click the deck name to see the full writeup.
Sultai Sweetness is a grinding machine! Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath
is the perfect card to push this deck to the top tier. Uro stalls against aggro, gaining you life while ramping toward Hydroid Krasis
or Nissa, Who Shakes the World
, and presents a large threat and huge value engine against slower decks. The removal suite has a new addition with Eat to Extinction exiling problematic planeswalkers and creatures with escape. Agonizing Remorse can easily be swapped out for Thought Erasure. The early ramp provided by Gilded Goose and Paradise Druid helps Sultai Sweetness have some insane early turns.

Here we have a slightly different take on Naya Aggro. Our core of the deck focuses on aggressively statted creatures that cost two mana: Bronzehide Lion
, Kraul Harpooner
, Tenth District Legionnaire
, and Shepherd of the Flock
. From there Naya Herald uses Auras to leverage our early board presence to close out the game. Against other creature-based decks Warbriar Blessing
is an all-star. Angelic Gift
and Setessan Training
help get through blocking creatures to pressure planeswalkers, as well as Banishing Light
.

Orzhov Auras 2.0 is an explosive deck focused around enchantments with several cards from the new set. Most importantly Hateful Eidolon is the core draw engine of the deck. The triggers from Eidolon and Dawn Evangel occur whenever an enchanted creature dies, not just ours. Treacherous Blessing is also a fantastic draw if the game goes longer. However, there is no way to sacrifice the Blessing so the life loss is mitigated with Lifelink from the Eidolon and Sentinel's Mark.

Kappolo
Kappolo has been a member of Team Aether from the start. Between all the GP grinding he is doing he had the time to sit down and brew a new deck for us!
Legacy's Mono-Red Sneak Attack is coming to standard. Use Ilharg, the Raze-Boar
and Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded
to cheat into play your favorite big red and artifact creatures. Runaway Steam-Kin
and Irencrag Feat
are your Seething Songs and rituals. Some card selection in order to assemble the combo with Merchant of the Vale
and Thrill of Possibility. Deck will steal some nice wins! Also, if you want to make some changes, try out 4 Fires of Invention
in the deck!

Titansfan920 is a resident Content Creator on Aetherhub and has made several articles and also a new video with ten new Theros Standard decks! We are showing you the one he is most excited about which is a mono-black devotion deck!
Check out his Theros articles:
My Top Ten cards so far in Theros: Beyond Death
Back to the deck which is built around Gary, or Gray Merchant of Asphodel
as most of you know him. The game plan is simple, we spend the first turn aggroing down the opponent, chipping off as much of their life total as possible. We have hand disruption, and removal to keep us alive and cards Ayara, First of Locthwain
giving us a lot of devotion. Then, of course, to finish it all off Gary who drains the rest of the opponents' life total and secures you a win. You do run into issues against control decks pretty quickly so do note that this deck is a for fun deck.
