Ixalan Standard. Tech Cards Spotlight.
Part 1 Part 2All them techs vs techs, in decks vs decks...
Turnaus-raportti:
Mardu, 3rd, US Nationals. It is the fastest deck in the field - it's faster than red and it's not really close - but it’s easy to hate out. This weekend it had a good matchup against most of the field because no one was ready for that kind of gas pedal. Temur became a little inbred trying to top the mirror and UB - cutting abrade for essence scatter and other spells that don’t interact with you well. After the mild success of vehicles this weekend the meta will remember why it played abrade and vehicles won’t be well positioned.
Soah, time to look for hidden gems. Maybe, reinvent UR Amulet, or Reservoir/ Panharmonicon/
Metalwork Colossus? I feel like everything else is known or expected. But said rogues get hurt by Abrades...
