Hello Everyone, Welcome back to the lab. With Ravnica Allegiance in full swing, I'm seeing a lot of people in Arena trying out the newest toys, then there are those who went back to using streamlined decks pre-RNA that take advantage of brews to climb up to Mythic. What I'm playing around now are the... Continue Reading →
Chamber Mill (Grixis T4 Kill ver 2.0)
Hello everyone, Wow. The applause and flak I got from posting the Grixis T4 Kill deck was amazing! A lot of people all over Facebook and WordPress shared valuable feedback so allow me to summarize them below. There are too many moving parts. The combo pieces are easy to disrupt. You need to draw them... Continue Reading →
Grixis T4 Kill
Hello everyone, I got a very promising, and spicy deck that can finally resemble a combo deck in Standard. The nearest 'combo' like deck is the Phoenix deck but it isn't really a combo deck per se. What I'll be showing you is a potential list I'm sure (or hope) pro players will perfect once... Continue Reading →
Walker Control
Care for a story? If you follow the story line back in Kaladesh, you will know that Tezzeret manipulated Dovin Baan to work for him and stop the Gatewatch from meddling with his plan of taking control of the planes' artifact creations and subdue the power that lies within the Planar Bridge. Nicol Bolas has... Continue Reading →
Explorational Frenzy
Welcome back everyone! I hope you guys have survived your self-induced food coma and are ready to come back to Standard. With Ravnica Allegiance spoiling soon, we will surely have a lot of new toys to play with here in the Lab. Gabe, a friend of mine from Team Champ, referred me to a R/G... Continue Reading →
Burn
Hello Alchemists, While I was browsing through the cards I've cracked open, drafted, or won in MTG Arena, I was surprised that I could actually build this deck circulating briefly in the internet called Punisher Burn. People said it was a dark horse that can take down FNMs consistently well. Seth from MTG Goldfish wrote... Continue Reading →
Naya Legends
Hello Brewers, With Ravnica Allegiance spoiler season upon us, everyone is excited to see what's in store for the current Standard meta once Azorious, Orzhov, Gruul, Simic and Rakdos join the fray. With this I'm anticipating more legends coming into the picture with Lavinia's card getting spoiled early, I think a lot of power will... Continue Reading →
Abzan’s Ruinous Blast
Hello Alchemists, Before we all become busy with the Christmas rush because tomorrow's the last weekend before Christmas, it's a pay day, and it's probably your last chance to buy gifts before kris kringles start, why not cap the week off with another deck tech? This is my gift to you! There was a time... Continue Reading →
Rakdos Token Control
Hello Brewers! I decided to upgrade the configuration of the token's deck and turn it into a control deck with the combo built-in to the shell. I felt it was very well positioned against today's meta of BG midrange, WW/RW Aggro, Mono-U and Mono-Red. Looking at the control decks of the format, the deck also... Continue Reading →
Desecrated Graves
Hello Alchemists, I got a very spicy idea for a deck that came to me when I was sorting the draft chaffs, prize packs, and binder left-overs I had over the weekend. WotC purposely prints build-around cards for brewers to exploit and I think I found two of my favorites. Desecrated Tomb and Open the... Continue Reading →
