The “Standard Cube” continues, now digging into White creatures!

Today we look into the Mono-Blue strategy from its enemy’s perspective. We’ll figure out how to fight, what actually matters as the enemy of the strategy, and take back what was stolen. Welcome to The Way of the Warrior where we Don’t MUC Around.

Jay doesn’t always gush love for Intro Decks. Here’s the breakdown of the rogue’s gallery, with a few anti-heroes, from the latest block!

We’ve had 2 weeks of Opens to see the impact New Phyrexia has had on the Standard and Legacy tournament scenes. I’m going to focus on Standard, since the Grand Prix this weekend is Legacy, and will almost certainly have more players than the SCG Open series gets. Waiting on that will give us a bit of a better view on the format. However, for Standard, there’s no reason to wait, especially since the format hasn’t really undergone much of a change.

With a new format becoming available for the first time Friday, it’s time to take a quick look at what’s available. For the most part, these will be aggro or combo decks, since control decks need to be built towards the metagame. As it stands, Caw-Blade is the premiere control deck in the format, and it can be played as-is with the mere addition of Batterskull.

The new Mirrodin Besieged Event Decks are here, and Jay Kirkman’s quest to assess their power level takes him through set evaluation and into his local Game Day!
