• Breakdown of the Top Standard Metagame 11-17-11

    I used WotC's Decks of the Week Activity to create this model of the best decks in the Standard Metagame today. All decks finished their respective Daily Event with a 4-0. I did not include decks that got into the Top 8 of the Premier Events.

    Here are the results:
    "Blue Illusions" 41
    GW Tokens     27
    UW Humans     23
    RDW 21
    Bant Pod     14
    Kessig Wolf Run     14
    Solar Flare     12
    White Artifact     10
    Rogue     10
    UB Control     9
    UR     7
    Mono B Infect 6
    KWR with W     5

    Comments:
    I do not wish to push a certain deck as better than the others, but it is quite apparent that the deck I labeled "Blue Illusions" deserves mention. I was unable to find the deck in the Standard Competitive Forum here on MTGSalvation, thus giving it the label. Here is the deck (Apologies, I don't know how to use deck tags):

    3 Glacial Fortress
    10 Island
    3 Moorland Haunt
    4 Seachrome Coast
    4 Delver of Secrets
    4 Lord of the Unreal
    4 Phantasmal Bear
    4 Phantasmal Image
    4 Snapcaster Mage
    1 Stitched Drake
    2 Dismember
    4 Gitaxian Probe
    2 Gut Shot
    4 Mana Leak
    4 Ponder
    3 Vapor Snag

    If you can identify a commonly used name, feel free to do so. I did not include Sideboards as these were not common.

    Feel free to comment, I will try to do these Breakdowns each Friday, although I will promise nothing.
