MTG Salvation

hey, i'm not really a friday night magic guy, I usually just build great decks at home and save them for when friends are over. As such, I dont really worry about whats legal or not, so any deck that has been legal before is what I'm looking for.

Preferably for now the best Tarkir block Jeskai and Abzan decks, including mantis rider and siege rhino.

I would also like a good Theros/Phyryxia block deck to build, if there are any that include god cards. Just anything with the ancient Greece theme.

Thanks for any help!

well, the best deck was something that ended in a ban probably, see:

For a good theros deck with god, there is jund monsters!

I've been playing since 2007, and I'll do my best to at least type up some of the most powerful decks from each standard as I remember it. Do note that a good number of these decks survived their initial rotation after a fashion without major changes, and are only listed in the first standard they appeared in.

RAV/TSP (+Coldsnap): UR Dragonstorm, UB Teachings, 3-4 color Slivers
TSP/LRW: Mono-Red SwathStorm, UB Faeries, GBw Doran Rock
LRW/ALA: 5-color Cruel Control, WR Aggro (Boat Brew and Variants)
ALA/ZEN: Jund Cascade, Naya "Lightsaber" Midrange (Baneslayer Angel + Behemoth Sledge was a big finisher)
ZEN/SOM: UW Caw-Go (Eventually Caw-Blade), GR Valakut, UR Exarch Twin
SOM/INN: U/x Delver, WB Tokens, 3-color and 4-color Pod
INN/RTR: BWx Aristocrats, GW Midrange, BR Zombies, BWx Reanimator
RTR/THS: Mono-Black Devotion, Esper Lockdown Control, Boros Burn
THS/KTK: Abzan Midrange, RG Monsters, Jeskai Ascendancy Combo.
KTK/BFZ: UR Ensoul Aggro, 4C Rally, GW Manifest
BFZ/INN: Temur Emerge, Bant CoCo, Abzan Seasons' Past Control
BFZ/INN/KTK: Current Standard (??)

Hope this helps!

I remember Broodstar affinity being horrible and then they printed this bad boy and it was the source of all my nightmares.

Probably my fav standard deck was good ol' U/G madness.

Atarka Red in Dragons of Tarkir was a beast of a deck. Plan B is to make a lot of little creatures and cast Atarka's Command to effect a lot of damage. Plan A was to cast Become Immense for real cheap thanks to tons of fetchlands and Temur Battlerage. Put those on a Monastery Swiftspear and you have a 9/10 doublestrike trample. On turn 4.

Green devotion became very strong once Megamorph was released. My green/blue version was not widely played (green/red and green/white were popular), but I felt that was by far the most broken deck I ever played. It was a midrange deck that crushed everything, except for being 50/50 against Atarka Red and Abzan Aggro. Featured hydras, centaurs and satyrs and sphinxes from Theros.

Monoblack devotion (RTR/Theros standard) was a very powerful game.

Pick any deck from urza's block standar.

Nothing compares with Tinder Wall - Channel - Fireball on turn 2 in Ice Age not-yet-Standard.
