Decklists are due soon for Magic's next big tournament: the Mythic Invitational. This is the first event where Historic is highlighted for the highest levels of competition, so you can imagine my excitement when preparing for this tournament. Today I'm going to take you through my testing process, explain my thinking and how I got to specific places, and most importantly: LOTS OF DECKLISTS.
I didn't start my testing for the Mythic Invitational until after Amonkhet was released. I wanted to start with the most impactful new cards from Amonkhet Remastered. I tried out everything from Spirits with Collected Company to Mono-Red Aggro with Soul-Scar Mage and Hazoret the Fervent. I assumed that Field of the Dead would be banned right away, but after a week or so I knew I had to find the best Field of the Dead deck, because it was unlikely to get banned a month before a major event.
Welp.
I was wrong, and Field of the Dead was banned shortly after I began my testing. Thankfully, I hadn't put too much time and effort into perfecting the deck. But where do I go from here? Historic was dominated by Field of the Dead; Bant Field, Sultai Field, Temur Field, 5C Field, Golos Field—you get the point.
While the deck had about the same 50 card starting point, you could pick your favorite ten cards and throw them in the flex spots. Because you could do whatever you wanted with Field of the Dead, it overtook the format and pushed out various archetypes like Control and Midrange. That's why when Field of the Dead got banned, the first place I turned to was Azorious Control.
Control decks struggled in Historic due to Field of the Dead. Sure, you could counter all the problematic cards and the ramp cards, but when you can't beat your opponents playing land for turn because you don't have efficient win-cons, it's hard to be a real contender in the format. It was obvious this is the era for Control and Midrange decks again.
Everything had slowed down, and everyone was wanting to interact with each other (outside of Goblins). I was having a lot of success with Azorius Control until people started shifting over to Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath strategies. By them, I was also looking to try out different decks and see how they fared in the new format.

Over the course of the next week, I was testing any and everything under the sun. Yorion Doom Foretold, Bant Spirits, Mono-Red Aggro, various Citadel decks, Big Red, Sultai Midrange, Temur Niv-Mizzet—you name it. At this point I wanted to test as many strategies as possible to weed out what felt the most powerful to me. After this step, I'd start to focus on those strategies and take my testing more seriously.

So what felt powerful? Of course Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath felt powerful, however I'm not a fan of matches lasting 50 minutes and mirrors, so I was desperate to look elsewhere to find something better. I was impressed with the Citadel lists and found myself gravitating towards Jund Citadel. Against Bant Control, I could typically aggro them out or find the right time to resolve a Bolas's Citadel for the win.
Bant was notably harder to play against then its tap-out counterpart: Sultai Midrange. Sultai's game plan is typically a mix of Midrange and Ramp, dealing with the opponent's cards after resolution instead of countering them like Bant Control. This leads the Sultai player to tap-out frequently, leaving many spots to resolve Bolas's Citadel and win the game.
Unfortunately, Grafdigger's Cage might be one of the best cards in Historic right now, which shuts down a lot of aspects of the Citadel decks. You can definitely win through them or blow them up with Reclamation Sage, but it feels like the Mythic Invitational is going to boil down to: "Decks that play four Grafdigger's Cage" and "Decks that lose to Grafdigger's Cage," making Bolas's Citadel and Collected Company noticeably weaker.

So Grafdigger's Cage is good. I quickly turned to a deck that utilizes the graveyard while getting around Grafdigger's Cage: Mono-Black God Pharaoh's Gift. Carolyn Kavanagh won the Arena Community Cup organized by The Mythic Society with this deck, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the deck didn't perform well for me, but mostly because I wasn't familiar with the complex lines of play.
With only a week left of testing, I decided it was better to figure out what is the best deck to play than work on learning a deck I wasn't proficient in. This is an important part of testing: unless you know a deck is 100% the correct choice, you need to manage your time adequately and not waste it on a deck that you know you won't be able to master before a major event.

From there I moved on to more aggressive decks like Mono-Red Aggro and Goblins. Goblins has been surprisingly resilient to Grafdigger's Cage with the addition of Goblin Trashmaster in the sideboard, as well as the "just turn creatures sideways" plan. I think Goblins is a strong contender this weekend, but I was also too afraid to lose to Wrath of God when paired with Grafdigger's Cage. I admittedly did not test Mono-Red as much as I should have. I think Mono-Red is also a good choice, but again I'm nervous to take it into a field of mostly Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath and Wrath of Gods.

With the Mythic Invitational only a couple days away, I needed to pick a deck and start optimizing it. Selecting your archetype is only half the battle—the sideboard selection, number of cards in the deck, and gameplans versus each matchup are just as important as the deck selection process. I spend most of my time analyzing the meta and selecting my deck in the testing process. I like playing a bunch of different decks to get a broad understanding of the format. That being said, I am likely giving in and playing an Uro deck.
Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath is by far one of the most powerful things you can do in Historic. Cards like Growth Spiral and Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath fundamentally change what "Ramp Decks" means because traditional ramp cards aren't also cantrips like these cards. I'm fond of Bant because of the initial reasons I was fond of Azorius Control.
Additionally, Bant Control does it all. You can beat Aggro, Combo, and Midrange if you understand the matchups, have good sideboarding plans, and tailor your deck to attack what you expect to see the most of. Having access to all the tools to beat anything you want is especially enticing to me for this event. While a lot of people are on the same page as me with Bant/Sultai, I still anticipate a lot of Goblins and Citadel, and I want to have a deck that is prepared to beat both of those as well.
Still in the testing process, but here is where I am currently at for my Mythic Invitational deck:
