#MTG GOLDFISH STANDARD SRISTOCRATS UPDATE#

As a result, the four-drop slot in the original build was a bit overloaded which in turn lead to some clunky draws. While Outpost Siege did an admirable job filling the role, it also costs four mana. If I could have picked one card out of Modern to add to Mardu Aristocrats, it would have been Blood Artist.

While I didn't think Magic Origins added enough to make it worth the effort, Battle for Zendikar is a different story.

#MTG GOLDFISH STANDARD SRISTOCRATS UPDATE#

Over the past few months, Mardu Aristocrats has been the deck I've been asked to update the most. The second is a control deck heavily featuring the new Awaken mechanic from Battle for Zendikar, and the third is a different take on Eldrazi which you can put together for less than $40. The first is an update to Mardu Aristocrats, the deck I've gotten the most requests for since playing it on Budget Magic a couple months ago. Regardless, today we are going to look at three decks I'm super excited to playing as soon as Battle for Zendikar is legal. So, while two-cmc mana dorks and three-cmc Rampant Growths may seem lacking compared to the most powerful versions ever printed, these cards will still see some amount of play in Standard just because they are the best option available. However, in Standard, you play Lightning Strike because you don't have Lightning Bolt and you play Touch of the Void because you don't have Lightning Strike. In Modern, you don't play Lightning Strike because you can always play Lightning Bolt same thing with Legacy. Our mana bases are amazing - like 'I can't believe they are letting us playing Modern in Standard' amazing - and even though many Battle for Zendikar cards seem underpowered on their face, power-level is relative in Standard. We don't have to worry about Thoughtsieze, Bile Blight, Courser of Kruphix, Drown in Sorrow or Elvish Mystic anymore. Sure, maybe Battle for Zendikar isn't the most exciting set ever printed, but this doesn't even matter. As someone who loves brewing decks, fresh post-rotation Standard formats are one of my favorite times of the year.
