I’d been bored with this standard for a while, but stumbled on this Rakdos Powerstone list that top 8’d recently and its a lot of fun, while putting up results.
Deck 4 Automated Artificer 4 Bloodthirsty Adversary 4 Thran Spider 3 Phyrexian Fleshgorger 4 Cityscape Leveler 3 Go for the Throat 3 Sheoldred’s Edict 4 Gix’s Caress 2 Excavation Explosion 3 The Mightstone and Weakstone 1 Portal to Phyrexia 2 Mountain 2 Swamp 4 Sulfurous Springs 1 Battlefield Forge 1 Caves of Koilos 4 Blackcleave Cliffs 4 Haunted Ridge 1 Shattered Sanctum 1 Sundown Pass 2 Mirrex 1 Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance 2 Takenuma, Abandoned Mire
What are you all playing till WOE is upon us?
I haven’t been playing much standard over the last few months, mostly because of how incredibly stale the meta has gotten. This looks like it’s pretty fun though so I might give it a shot.
Yeah, that was me too once I got tired of losing to 4C Atraxa piles with Jeskai Dragons. (and coming to the conclusion that Hardened Scales just doesn’t cut it in Explorer now.)
Hope you enjoy this list as much as I have been.
