NAYA MIDRANGE GOLDFISH STANDARD HOW TO

I need to make space for the 1 of each basic. Only 2x Clifftop Retreat though because this deck is base green. 4x all the check lands because those are really good. It also doesn't hit opposing wildgrove walkers.Īs for the mana base, that was easy. Do you think Justice Strike is the right call, or should Lava Coil be the main deck removal? Justice strike is instant speed, but lava coil hits some smaller Enigma Drakes and Crackling Drakes. 4x Justice Strike should deal with most issues that I would run into in standard at the moment. While filling out the curve is important, removal is just as important. I could see the descision going either way though, please let me know what you think. I considered Rekindling Phoenix, but after watching a video on MTG goldfish with boros angels just crushing the 5-0, and watching how Aurelia played out, I picked Aurelia over phoenix. While I was at it filling out the curve, aurellia, exemplar of justice seemed like one of the best 4 drops available. In the mean time the added bonus of making it harder to play on my turn? Yes please! This is also my maindeck hate against control. I don't know how well this card will perform in the standard meta, but I certainly think it is playable.

I decided to fill out the curve with another new card, Tithe Taker. Then the upside of pumping them for some beats early on. 3 mana for 2x 2/2s with vigilance is great. Now that I have a reasonable wildgrove walker package, enough so to justify playing a playlet of the card.įor the final amazing 3 drop, I play 2x History of Benalia. Both are good deals, while heavily synergizing with wildgrove walker. I felt like I needed more explore to justify wildgrove walker though, so I added another solid 2-drop in Merfolk Branchwalker. Also the beautiful curve of wildgrove walker into Jadelight Ranger isn't to hard to do, but it can really just hose aggro decks.

The life-gain on this thing is great against aggro, and it still adds plenty of pressure against control. I already had Jadelight Ranger, so I threw in one of the scariest 2 drops ever printed for aggro decks: wildgrove walker. This is how quite a few of my brews start: with a few core cards. Jade light can be a 4/3, a 3/2 draw a card, or a 3-drop 2/1 draw 2 cards. While sometimes being another undercosted beater, it also has the utility half. My next thought for powerful 3-drop in standard was my go-to: Jadelight Ranger. Then with Gruul Spellbreaker being a 3-mana 4/4 with utility and Knight of Autumn being a 3-mana 4/3 with utility, I figured this deck could probably be either midrange, using the utility parts of Knight of Autumn and Gruul Spellbreaker or aggro using these insanely undercosted bodies. My immediate next thought was Knight of Autumn, a fantastic card that never really found it's home in standard. Still really amazed with Gruul Spellbreaker as a potential powerhouse, I decided for this to be my starting point. On this note, I thought about building a sort of 3-drop tribal deck. Gruul Spellbreaker will make it in but it will have a lot of other powerful things going on to compete with. My point is the 3-drop slot in standard is very contested right now.

You've got Adeliz, the Cinder Wind, Benalish Marshal, Captain Lannery Storm, Jadelight Ranger, Goblin Chainwhirler, Legion Warboss, Resplendent Angel, History of Benalia and new in ravnica allegiance Bedevil. Aggro decks are kind of pinched for the 3 drop slot. There are many other good 3 drops in the standard format right now. That seems legit and I think Gruul Spellbreaker will see standard play and be a solid card in many aggro decks. This is also true of many better players, and based on the general community opinion, I decided that this was worth it's own deck design.īecause of the haste option of riot, the new Gruul mechanic, many people are thinking about using Gruul Spellbreaker in an aggro deck. I was looking at the spoilers for Ravnica Allegiance and Gruul Spellbreaker really caught my eye as a powerhouse.
