Arena Standard - Golgari Adventures (MC LIST)

18 36
29 3 4 24

Main Deck Tech: This is the Golgari Adventures MC list by Chris Kvartek. It aims to generate value off of Edgewall Innkeeperimage and The Great Hengeimage. The latter normally gets discounted heavily because of Lovestruck Beastimage and Rotting Regisaurimage. Questing Beastimage finishes off games as well as pesky Planeswalkers. Murderous Riderimage and Vivien, Arkbow Rangerimage both help to answer tough creatures and Planeswalkers. Vivien, Arkbow Rangerimage also pushes through lethal by giving creatures like Rotting Regisaurimage trample. Usually never cast Edgewall Innkeeperimage without an adventure to play alongside it that very turn; if you know your opponent can't answer it before you cast your adventure spell (for example, no red mana to Bonecrusher Giantimage or Shockimage) it's sometimes okay to forego this rule The more controlling the opponent is, the longer you should hold onto Edgewall Innkeeperimage for. 

Sideboard Tech: Our sideboard targets Food and Fires of Inventionimage decks while still covering some other matchups like control and aggro. The cards are well-selected and often times overlap with matchups we're not specically covering (for example, Thrashing Brontodonimage helping us vs Gruul Aggro because it can block Zhur-Taa Goblinimage and sometimes Gruul Spellbreakerimage) while still threatening to deal with their Embercleaveimage, but it's main purpose is to combat Fires of Inventionimage and Witch's Ovenimage

 

Esper:

-1 The Great Hengeimage

We lose to Liliana, Dreadhorde Generalimage so we try to play more cards to beat her.

+3 Duressimage

 

Jund Food:

Careful not to extend into a Massacre Girlimage, especially being tapped out with your Thrashing Brontodonimages on the field.

Jeskai Fires:

Against Deafening Clarionimage, you need to hold onto 1 mana 1/1's in your hand so your Lovestruck Beastimages can attack even if they sweep your board.
