The deck won the World Championship in the hands of Nathan Steuer, and it hasn't slowed down after the release of The Brothers' War. The 'Other' category contains such deck archetypes as Grixis Control, Rakdos Sacrifice, Mardu Angels, Mono-White Soldiers, Mono-White Aggro, Bant Soldiers, Dimir Midrange, Boros Reanimator, Azorius Control, Azorius Heroic, Jund Sacrifice, The Kami War, Izzet Ramp, Mono-Red Ramp, Boros Aggro, Four-Color Midrange, Mono-Green Aggro, Orzhov Midrange, Esper Control, and Mono-Red Midrange.Īt 36.8% of the winner's metagame, Grixis Midrange continues its domination of Standard. Up and down arrows signify the biggest changes compared to my metagame roundup from early November, right before the release of The Brothers' War.

Archetype names hyperlink to a well-performing decklist closest to the aggregate of the archetype. It may be interpreted as a winner's metagame that you can expect to see at the top tables.

In addition, I included all decklists with net positive records from Standard tournaments on MTG Melee from the same time period, which captures the last three weeks of competition.Īfter correcting archetypes and assigning to each deck a number of points equal to its number of match wins minus its number of match losses, I derived the following record-weighted metagame breakdown.

To provide a metagame snapshot for Standard, I used all Magic Online decklists from Standard Challenge, Standard Last Chance, and Standard Showcase Qualifier events held from November 21 through December 12. Don't miss your chance to qualify by finding tournaments on the Store & Event Locator or your regional organizer's website.
