Aihe: BoatBrew. Amonkhet Spoilers for Standard

[Bor]

Thread for Standard brainstorming with the new set and some other spoilers pondering.

Video Spoilers Reviews (mainly Standard, bits of other formats, don't want to misinform anybody about Limited that much, not a guru there):

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4 - after full set is spoiled.

Later on I am likely to overview some prototype decklists in text and on tape. 

Liking the set so far. Looks very tempo.based for limited though, and a lot of value cards.

Potent new/upgraded Standard archtypes so far:

UR Tempo Spells, BR and RG Madness, BW and BR Zombies, UG Value Ramp, Temur Marvel, Jeskai Cycling Control.

By potent I don't necessarily mean OP.

More Amonkhet Standard Brews People Forgot.

5 more Competitive and fun decks for the new format. UW Tempo, Bant Control, Temur Midrange, 4k Panharmonicon, BR Atog.

UW Sram Combo VS Abzan Vehicles. Amonkhet Standard

One of the few combo decks left up against a value twist on Vehicles.


4k becomes Temur Energy Midrange, plus there is still Temur Marvel. UWx will return. Both Control and Tempo.

Amonkhet Standard. Threats VS Answers

This time I would like to go over old and new threats, and old and new answers for Amonkhet Standard.
This will be the era of white cards being best at answering most problems. But unlike in Modern, this Standard, will have plenty interaction going on in maindecks, as well as post-sideboard.
This compilation of lists was drafted out after the first B&R announcement. Since then we lost the Cat, and had the results of the first major tournament with the new set - Starcitygames Standard Open tournament. Hence, some of these lists can lose some relevance, but are still important to keep in mind.

New and Updated Amonkhet Standard Brews. Post Pro Tour.

Let's answer the new winners and established things with something outside the box, but still with good quality cards for big events, and then with fun decks for local store play.

Esper Midrange, Mardu Midrange, RG Gods, UW Sram, UW Exert Tempo, Abzan Aristocrats, UR Tempo, RG Bushwhacker

Esper Control Deck Tech

All the haymakers wrapped into a sweet skillful control package.
Fun, full of decisions and options, interactive.

UR Drake Tempo Deck Tech

Not too casual, not too boring. Combo like, fast, interactive enough, budget. Something different and spicy in the sea of solved fields and narrow perspective. Jump on the creative train while you can.

Semicasual test matches with some deck experiments. Tohugh RG Energy if cooked right is a viable deck. (it has a top8 at gp santiago and some 5-0s at modo leagues)

UR Drake Tempo Burn VS RG Pummella Anderson (Energy Aggro)

RG Energy Aggro VS Esper Control

UR Drake Burn VS Abzan Monitor Combo

[JockiBe]

Did you post a decklist of that UR Drake deck somewhere?

[Bor]

In the deck tech above I go over a decklist, which is on mtggoldfish. Search with deck name or user - OthalaBor.

[JockiBe]

Lol...I didn't notice that deck tech post...

Esper Control Deck Tech

All the haymakers wrapped into a sweet skillful control package.
Fun, full of decisions and options, interactive.

UR Drake Tempo Deck Tech

Not too casual, not too boring. Combo like, fast, interactive enough, budget. Something different and spicy in the sea of solved fields and narrow perspective. Jump on the creative train while you can.

The links in this were mangled, these should work.

Esper Control Deck Tech

UR Drake Tempo Deck Tech

Latest versus style test match recordings with teammates.

UW Sram Reservoir Combo VS Esper Haterator Control

Abzan Evolution VS Esper Aggro

RW Humans VS Esper Aggro

RW Humans VS UR Expedite Tempo

Also there is this. A bit about everything, but dont expect all the answers just in this one.
