Kaldheim seems to be bringing many, many new themes and potential avenues to Standard. Better mana, the first snow cards in Standard in over a decade, and tribal themes for a host of creature types.

But the best supported tribe in Standard might surprise you:

Honestly if you'd told me this set was built to give Yorion, Sky Nomad more cards to work with, I wouldn't even be that shocked. The number of cards that synergize so well with our favorite Sky Noodle is a bit unbelievable:

The Sagas in particular aren't super newsworthy, as Standard has been plagued by Yorion, Sky Nomad and Elspeth Conquers Death since the card was released. What is worth noting is that, from a mana perspective, pretty much any combination of colors that touches on one of Yorion's two colors has been unlocked now that Kaldheim is adding Barkchannel Pathway and Hengegate Pathway to the format. Before, Yorion could only work in combinations where multiple Pathways could keep its mana mostly untapped, such as Esper, Selesnya, or (theoretically) Jeskai, Mardu, and Naya. Now, Bant and Sultai are both on the table, and the various Golgari and Simic cards of the past year are worth exploring with Yorion again.

The Gods have some interesting utility in these decks that I want to explore, but Wizards seems to have been mindful of them. Whenever a card is "blinked," it will always return on the front side of the card. Most of the dual-faced cards in Standard are lands on the back, and can't be blinked to begin with. The Gods, though, can be cast on their back half as an artifact, and then returned to play in their God form.

For the most part, that's really only useful if you're gaining some kind of mana advantage. Alrund, God of the Cosmos, Halvar, God of Battle, and Toralf, God of Fury can be snuck into play as two-drops and then flipped to their more expensive side, if that's something we're looking for. I haven't found a way I want to use this interaction yet, but I'm keeping it in the back of my mind as I explore the new format.

Finally, anything that does something substantial when it enters the battlefield is automatically worth considering for a Yorion deck. Masked Vandal gives a creature version of the Neutralize effect, and Path to the World Tree is yet another cheap, blinkable cantrip permanent in the same vein as Golden Egg or Omen of the Sea.

Add this all together, there are plenty of directions to go for the Sky Nomad tribe.

#1: Yorion Sultai Snow

The first idea I pushed to completion was Sultai. I wanted to see what cards from both Kaldheim and the previous sets had gone underplayed because of the worse mana.

The Three Seasons and King Narfi's Betrayal both popped out to me as effective ways to mill ourselves to create value, while also providing card advantage in their own right. The first The Three Seasons might not be the most impressive, but successive copies should find more and more snow permanents to pick up to act as cheap Divination effects. You just need to play snow lands to make it worth it.

And once we're playing snow lands and black spells, there's one big winner I want to play:

This card seems incredible. "Destroy all creatures or planeswalkers" plus Zombify is a ton of value in one card. It can never get back something more than six mana, but for the most part it shouldn't need to. A four or five-drop will suffice when the board is already clear.

This is a rough sketch, and I still find myself changing cards in and out. That said, the idea is fairly straightforward: midrange value, stealing the opponent's effects with King Narfi's Betrayal, and eventually winning through accumulated value and recursive threats. Polukranos, Unchained and Narfi, Betrayer King both give the deck ways to keep pressure on even without a Yorion engine.

One of the most disappointing aspects to the snow theme, however, is how weak the snow permanents are. With most of the power tied up in instants and sorceries, there aren't many creatures worth playing in the deck, even if they can be cast multiple times with Kaldring, the Rimestaff or drawn easily off of The Three Seasons.

Overall, however, Blood on the Snow is worth exploring, and recurring a powerful five or six-drop seems worthwhile with Yorion. Even if we don't end up in Sultai, it could be worth watching for other blue-black color combinations.

Esper Doom Foretold has been a mainstay since Omnath, Locus of Creation was banned, but that doesn't mean the deck doesn't have ways to upgrade with the new set. Maybe most importantly, the better mana from Pathways means Yorion has room for some additional spell lands, and I'm particularly excited about one:

This card is my pick for one of the more impactful cards from Zendikar Rising that hasn't seen much play yet. Before this, the mana in Esper was a little too tricky to fit more tap lands. But Clone effects work especially well when they can copy spell-like effects from creatures, and Yorion, Sky Nomad lets you move around which effect you choose. Further, one of the best plays in Yorion decks is to play a second copy with the first still in play, blinking the original and doubling up on the first effect. What better way to do that than to have a Glasspool Mimic in play when the first Yorion is cast?

The deck also gets to play fewer anti-aggro cards because of one of the most… interesting decisions in Kaldheim: Doomskar.

As a short rant: this card is messed up. I'm old enough to remember when Wizards worried about four-mana Wrath of God effects being too oppressive for Standard. Now we get what might be the best wrath effect ever printed. Frankly, I'm not sure how aggro is supposed to compete outside of "hope to draw Reidane, God of the Worthy every game" or playing countermagic themselves. If you want to know why I'm not spending time working on aggro decks, it's literally just because of this card.

Firja's Retribution is an absurd pickup for Yorion, Sky Nomad, and will probably get blinked an obnoxious number of times and kill many a Brushfire Elemental during its time in Standard. While Yorion decks might be able to play a very long game, I think we're past the meme of the deck taking forever to win. Firja's Retribution into Yorion is 16 damage in two turns, and the following turn will be another 20. If they took damage from anything else, the game's over turn six.

Or… just draw two of them. Even better than blinking it is resolving a second, so that on turn six those two Angel tokens attack for lethal.

It's so quick, it makes me wonder if we can just eschew the longer game entirely and play Angel token aggro.

Versions with and without Yorion, Sky Nomad both have merit, though if we're pushing into just two colors, I think I prefer the smaller deck. I want a few creatures that can enter play before Firja's Retribution just to sneak in that couple points of damage we need, if we need it. Either Reidane, God of the Worthy or Righteous Valkyrie can fly over and provide a decent life buffer to make it happen as well. Most games won't end that well, and in those situations this deck can play a longer game too.

The more I think about it, the more Firja's Retribution feels like the next History of Benalia. On its own, it's quite powerful, but in multiples it ends the game stupidly fast.

#4: Esper Switcharoo

Switching gears, another Saga caught my eye as a fun meme, but gnawed at the back of my mind until I put something together:

The Trickster-God's Heist didn't seem like much. "Heh, build your own Mind Control!" Charming Prince, a card I come back to every so often, is a cute trick with it as well, "trading" creatures just to have Charming Prince bring them home.

Then it dawned on me how easy it could be to have the second ability swing the game completely. The Great Henge? Mine now. Embercleave on their second or third worst creature? That's ours now. Doom Foretold? Just gotta have the right permanent and now it's ours.

The Birth of Meletis, Golden Egg, and Solemn Simulacrum are all artifacts that have seen play in Yorion, Sky Nomad decks before and could again, especially if we're trying to switcheroo them. Yorion decks also already play a ton of enchantments.

My biggest breakthrough was realizing that if the deck plays a three-mana Saga, followed by The Trickster-God's Heist, you could donate the other Saga to them with its last triggered ability still on the stack. The result is the enchantments are exchanged, the Saga's last ability resolves, and then the Saga is sacrificed right after.

Is it probably too meme-y? Maybe. But I'm definitely going to try it.

#5: Bant Food

Finally, as a bit of an update, I spent a lot of time looking at whether or not I could make the Selesnya Yorion shell work in Bant. Ultimately, adding blue to Selensya doesn't add a ton—the deck was pretty self-sufficient as it is. That said, adding blue does give the deck countermagic so that it has an actual plan against control other than conceding. Annul in particular seems to address the deck's problems with Embercleave and The Great Henge, and might just be good enough on its own that it would be worth playing in various maindecks.

The other pickup from Kaldheim is Moritte of the Frost. Blinking in and copying any permanent is an extraordinary amount of redundancy in a deck that could always use another Elspeth Conquers Death, Skyclave Apparition, or Trail of Crumbs. Between it and Glasspool Mimic, there are a few new tricks the deck can do without weakening its mana at all thanks to the eight extra Pathways. While it may not feature the most new cards from the set, I'm interested in seeing if the archetype can get some new life now that it has easy access to countermagic going forward.

No matter how you cut it, Yorion, Sky Nomad got a lot out of this set. Between a new Wrath of God, a new History of Benalia, various clones, better lands and new tricks, the depth of Yorion's toolbox is starting to get scary. Time will tell if other decks can compete with it, but I know where I'm starting day one of the format.

At least, once I stop memeing.

Bonus: The World Tree Combo

A recent combo got some attention when Maskwood Nexus was spoiled: it and The World Tree combine to pull every creature still left in the deck out at once. There aren't that many worthwhile Gods to get with The World Tree by itself, so jumping through hoops to get to 11 mana and get them isn't worth it. But what if there were a second combo to search up?

This deck doesn't go infinite, but it doesn't need to. One Terror of the Peaks plus everything else should be fine. Just to be safe, I'll play Beanstalk Giant.

The second list pushes in an entirely different direction, and tries to vomit as many lands into play as possible. Where the other list can be more explosive, it's vulnerable to its mana doublers being killed. The mono-green version, however, does one thing: get lands and put them into play. Because the deck is so monomaniacal, it should be fairly consistent.



Is either deck quick enough? No, probably not. Resolving a four-mana artifact, getting to 11 mana, and then activating The World Tree seems unlikely. But it seems really funny if you can do it. I might have to give it a try when I'm allowed to in Arena, just to get it out of my system.



Then I'll follow my own advice and just play Yorion.
