As a new(ish) MtG player – both online and in real life – I find these articles invaluable. Great job especially on this post Pitlord. I have been scouring the Tournament Practice room and have seen all of these decks. Great analysis!

I put in my vote for UR Faeries. I hope you change the deck up a little – I’m not a fan of 4x Mana Leaks – this format has prohibit and condescend, both of which I vastly prefer. If you are going to have a drawing engine, you definitely don’t want counters that become useless late game.

The kind of decks trying to play big spells can pay for the leak or counter it themselves anyway. I’d definitely rather have hard counters vs storm decks as well.

Nice analysis of the current top decks and their strengths/weaknesses. Gives new players a decent rundown on what they might want to invest in or how to exploit inherent foils in every deck. Also, for the deck to run, play UR Fae, LSV already did a whole video series on another site running the UR Cloudpost deck through 8 man queues. The Fae look to make a metagame shift as it beats storm, and that’s pretty much what you want to be doing right now to be competitive.

I think this article is great, and it makes me want to play Pauper.
