Best Standard Decks - Meta Review | August 2024 - Bloomburrow - Week 2 | MTG Arena

The second week of data is available for Bloomburow and Selesnya Rabbits has taken the number one spot. Mono-Red Aggro, and it's maximize turn 3 win counterpart, Rakdos Aggro, are close behind. Followed by Rakdos Lizards, two different versions of Domain and two aggressive builds of Mono-Black. In bo3, Domain took down three top 3 finishes. We saw Golgari Midrange leaning into the one turn kill with Vraska and Innkeeper's Talent. And Boros Tokens looks like a very good deck especially in bo3. I suspect to see more top 3 finishes from it as the meta progresses.

Double comment : this video is really really good, i always had problems when i make a break, to quickly get „what is the actual meat or cornerstone, of these new decks.“ you simply explain it to me in 2 sentences. Subbed. (Please continue to explain the wincons and the weakness, really quick when you review these decks, really helps intermediate/returning players like me)

[finnT_Tekken]

Thanks for the video. Had a break after March of the M. And coming back now, needed something like this to see what is going on now ^^

[Glonk_Respecter]

Great video! Bunnies give me old tribal vibes from sets like onslaught. Pretty fun to run them if you grew up playing back then.

[FolloweroftheWay_Jesus]

Interesting info. I'm having fun playing mono-white control on arena. I won 6 games in a row last night, barely beat a mono-black discard deck and a rakdos aggro deck.

[JamesAndrewA]

Nice overview. Simple and clean. Subbed.

[bigk]

What is that three drop black card above preacher of the schism in the abzan mid deck?

[jilocasin]

Very interesting video. I'm sitting in the top 250 playing Boros tokens in Bo1. According to my untapped I have an overall 82% winrate with my most recent revision and 60% or so winrate with it against monored and a bit better than that against the mirror match but I kind of absolutely smoke orzhov, monoblack, golgari, and rabbits. I think I do well against rabbits because I run 4 temporary lockdown and 4 get lost. I saw the japan standard open lists and am a bit inspired to take a version to Bo3 (which I sometimes play). Anyway good analysis and I hope you have fun playing it later.

Lizards direct counter - UW control ( Sunfall hits differently); Green Big bois ( we lack lifegain to sustain more than 1 hit).

I was really hoping we would be free of the domain curse after rotation, but apparently it's still domain all the way down 😔

[johnmoore-alameda]

The azorius Monastery mentor deck looks awesome

[TheLightningeater]

I’m surprised sunspine lynx didn’t impact domain more 😢

[dankrocka]

No one has solved Scavenger's Talent capabilities yet. Best I've seen is Pitiless Carnage on mode 2 mill opponent. Or Mode 3 vinelasher/Lumra(you can even sac Lumra to bring it back), self-mill, with black village support

[soprettymuchthatsthewayitis]

I'd argue that Boros Convoke did actually lose quite a lot when epicure rotated. Yotian Frontliner is significantly worse, being unable to get a turn 2 convoke with gleeful demolition. Convoke is secretly a combo deck, so losing one of it's pieces reduces its consistency a lot. Of course, it's not on the level of something like Esper Raffine, losing Raffine, Dennek, Wedding Announcement, etc. but it definitely didn't lose nothing like golgari mid did losing out on graveyard tresspasser when it still has glissa, preacher, and even gix if it wants.

[purplemayonnaise]

I’m a newer player about to invest my wildcards in a first deck. Do you think the meta is stabilized after rotation or would I benefit from waiting longer? Thanks for the awesome video.

[quaidrowan]

I'm doing GW Rabbits (with a few twists, same basic idea) and the only deck I fear is mono red aggro.

[Endeffekt_Hi]

I just returned after a few years break. Which of these decks is worth spending the last of my wildcards on in terms of flexibility for bo1?
Would be nice to make a deck that is able to shift and has cards that fit well into others down the line, just in case the meta shifts quite a bit.
Many thanks :)

[DevoBlade]

Thanks for the breakdown lol more than 1 rectangle per card 😂

[mossroks]

Is the white/black bat deck not good anymore?

[muhammetaliselimi]

woow very helpful breakdown. i appreciate the Work behind this. you got yourself a new sub sir !

[sdooubj]

This has to be bait because I tried the mono red deck and unless your opponent ignores you you lose. Literal dog water
