Turner and Hooch
Standard BO1
30 Jul by kilawpilath
This deck has a combo plan built with The Blackstaff of Waterdeep to animate Vehicles so that they can attack with out a crew, or to buff and/or animate artifacts that the opponent might not see coming. It was named after having watched the Disney+ TV series of the same name, which is a ...
S22 Turbo Cyclone (No Koma)
Standard BO1
28 Jul by Fredzy
This deck revolves around the synergy between our two main win conditions which are Ashaya, Soul of the Wild and Cyclone Summoner. Ashaya, Soul of the Wild makes all your creatures ''lands'' so the Cyclone Summoner effect doesn't return your creatures to your hand. It's basically l...
Onyxclex (Standard 2022)
Standard BO1
28 Jul by Jiroxys
Are you looking for an absolutely brutal beatdown deck? Look no further. This deck's got synergy for days, and curves that'll destroy your marriage. Let's get into it We're all familiar with the 1 and 2-mana treasure package. It's great for ramping. But it also creates a punishing pillow fort that t...
Suicide Black (Standard 2022)
Standard BO1
28 Jul by TunechiFish
This deck is playtested and edited regularly. Lands: 24 Snow-Covered Swamp -The snow lands are only for Blood on the Snow. 4x Hagra Mauling/Hagra Broodpit -The suggested landbase from Aetherhub is 27. You will be using Hagra Broodpit more often than the destroy creature effect. It helps...
Troll's Epiphany (Standard 2022)
Standard BO1
21 Jul by Wixxles
Strategy: Ramp into waking the trolls by turn 4/5. When using Roiling Regrowth you preferably want to sacrifice pathways to bring in more basic lands in case you need to play phylath, world sculptor. Ideally have alrund's epiphany available to skip the opponents turn before or after stage...
2022 - Orzhov Control
Standard BO1
19 Jul by GrilledCheese
This deck's wincons are (most of the time): Tergrid, God of Fright Professor Onyx Gameplan: Melt opponent's hand and drastically slow the game with Acquisitions Expert, Go Blank, Inscription of Ruin, Pelakka Predation and Skull Raid and eventually with Tergrid's Lantern while you gain life an...
Azorius Tax Evasion
Standard BO1
19 Jul by SlickSamos
Firstly - do not spend Rare/Mythic wildcards on it unless you like D&T in Historic as rotation will impact this deck! I have a positive win rate in Gold Ranked so is feasible, and did get me to Platinum. Appropriate alternatives can be found in the Maybeboard with some suggestions as...

Mono White Lifegain Mk2
Standard BO1
15 Jul by morrigankig
This is a fairly reliable lifegain deck with a few different combos. Linden/Hoplite: Linden, the Steadfast Queen, Reverent Hoplite Using Linden grants you 1 LP gain per monster attacking at start of combat phase. When you play Hoplite, you gain tokens equal to your loyalty to white. You can easily g...
Dragonkind v2 [S22]
Standard BO1
13 Jul by Ni9htwing
Updates 22/07 - The choice between 4x Frost Bite and 2x Frost Bite + 2x Crush the Weak/Cinderclasm depends on the decks you are facing most often, but I have found that Frost Bite works well in most matchups, including against decks that go wide, but, in any case, going against mono-white for exampl...
mono white blink blink
Standard BO1
12 Jul by FloppieTacos
If you like blink, blink and more blink this is a deck you have to give a go. This non-linear mono white deck has some tricks that will tickle your brains. I won't spoil them all. I'll give a basic breakdown of the deck and let you discover the power and complexity of the deck by yourself. th...
I Skipped Church Days [[Standard 2022]]
Standard BO1
11 Jul by Pentvidia
**Under Construction** Welcome to Standard 2022 Esper Control aka "I Skipped Church Days" With the introduction of Standard 2022, it's it a time to start fresh with brews and for new cards to shine after being overshadowed by the pushed sets of previous...*cough* Eldraine *cough*. My fri...
Cosmic Mountain Dew
Standard BO1
14 Jun by GrilledCheese
This deck revolves around: Ashiok, Nightmare Muse Dream Trawler Cosmos Elixir Midnight Clock Early game: - Control early menaces with Eliminate, Elspeth's Nightmare and if absolutely necessary Baleful Mastery (by paying the student's cost). You can use Vanishing Verse if you are certain you w...
Sac Midrange
Standard BO1
02 Jun by YesWhey
The version of Sac Weenie that I'm now playing. A synergistic deck featuring Retriever Phoenix and Kaya the Inexorable built to slog and win games the ugly way. I started with a BW Witch/Plumb/Bastion shell and wound up here. While this looks very different from Sac Weenie V4, each iterat...
Azorius Control (No Yorion)
Standard BO1
28 May by LostInThought
Introduction I've been sick of only seeing Yorion Azorius Control decks so this is my take on the archetype sans the Sky Noodle. The gameplan is to delay until you can cast a protected Dream Trawler. As such, don't be afraid to 'waste' spells early on if it gives you one more turn to liv...
Pencils Down (Strict Proctor Shutdown)
Standard BO1
26 May by RobinHood3000
This is my take on the Mardu "ETB shutdown" deck that features Strict Proctor, Hushbringer, and undercosted creatures with ETB downsides (Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger, Hunted Nightmare, and Clackbridge Troll). Hushbringer and Proctor are both capable of turning off the downsides on the three payof...
Life Blade | Mono White Lifegain Aggro
Standard BO1
24 May by Dragosven
This deck's superstar is Blade Historian as the title suggests, with Heliod, Sun-Crowned a close second. A perfect draw on the play could look like this - Turn 1 Selfless SaviorTurn 2 Daxos, Blessed by the SunTurn 3 Heliod, Sun-CrownedTurn 4 Blade Historian Turn 1 and 2 aren't always super cruc...
IZZET STEAL
Standard BO1
14 May by godae
Stealing all of your opponet's things may be the best way to win a game of magic, I'd argue for milling someone deckless, but that's an argument for another day :] I went with Izzet for Claim the Firstborn & Shackles of Treachery, these cards are vital to the concept of the deck and I hi...
White Brownies
Standard BO1
08 May by IllugiGodi
Time to revisit our old friend: Ugin, the Spirit Dragon. We are playing colorless deck with a splash of white - i.e. "White Brownies" in standard. With the format slowly creeping to its peek in card availability (only one more set until rotation) we finally have a somewhat decent collection of color...

This is a budget deck upgrade for the Green Starter deck on Arena (Large and in Charge) This deck costs: 3 Common WC || 23 Uncommon WC || 0 Rare and Mythic WC || All other cards in the deck, including the rares and mythics, are obtained for free from the Arena Starter Decks. The main goa...
