Arena Craft – A Magic: The Gathering (MTG) Podcast

The Post-Worlds Meta

The world championship... is already over! But before it was, Covertgoblue and Arjuna got together to discuss the decklists and the metagame for the tournament. A lot of these decklists will be templates for the meta moving forward, so even though it went a certain way, we expect to keep seeing these lists show up on the ladder and getting refined. Exciting times for Standard!

World Championship Decklists & Meta

This week, we have an absolute legend of a content creator on the show – Michael J Flores!

Michael J still writes, currently for Coolstuffinc, and also hosts several podcasts, of which Top Level Podcast is a Crafty Host fave.This week, we&#39;re discussing the SCG Satellite Standard tournaments from the past week, and there is a clear 3-deck format trend emerging: Izzet Turns, Monogreen Aggro, and Monowhite Aggro. We discuss how these decks are positioned, whether black-based control decks have any place in the meta, and a whole lot else about card choices and implications for these decks!If you love the show and want to support us, head over to our Patreon and check out our tiers: https://patreon.com/arenacraftpodcast .
