Standard has finally started to stabilize after a hectic few weeks of churn. A smaller set of Standard tournaments this weekend meant a lot less innovation and a lot less data, but we still have a pretty good picture of the metagame:

Gruul Aggro and Dimir Rogues both apply pressures on the format that keep it honest. You can't go too slow or too big without running afoul of one or the other. Gruul Aggro is finally showing signs of weakness, but it's not about to go anywhere. Gruul Aggro and Dimir Rogues are the defining pillars of the format, and the metagame shifts revolve around their presence.

Esper Doom had a fairly average weekend, but it suffered at the hands of the same nemesis as Gruul Aggro: Mono-Green Food. Mono-Green Food had an explosively good weekend, and I'd like to say I told you so. Matching up well against the two most popular decks lead to Mono-Green Food achieving the highest win rate of any deck this weekend.

Temur Ramp performed well above my expectations from last week, due in part to the archetype's transformation. Last week an Obosh, the Preypiercer version of the deck gained popularity, but this week the archetype shifted to a much more controlling version built around Ugin, the Spirit Dragon and Shark Typhoon.

Mono-Red Aggro saw a sudden spike in popularity, but without a corresponding spike in performance I expect to see it die out just as quickly. Dimir Control is in a very similar position.

While the LATAM Challenge is an absolutely massive tournament this weekend, I expect very little change in the metagame this week. This week should look a lot like last week, just with a bit more Mono-Green Food.

Mono-Green Food is the best positioned deck in Standard. It has good matchups against Gruul Aggro, Dimir Rogues, and Esper Doom. That's why it was the most successful deck of the weekend and why I expect to see a ton of it this weekend.








Thrashing Brontodon in particular is incredibly well positioned against Gruul Aggro and Esper Doom. LUCASG1GGS went one further and included not one but two copies of Ugin, the Spirit Dragon to compete against the ramp decks and have a trump card in mirrors.

Gruul Aggro is not quite as dominant of a deck as it was a few weeks ago, but it's still one of the most powerful and consistent decks in the format. Gruul will never be a bad choice, and even in its most targeted weeks it remains one of the top three decks by win rate.



The goal of Gruul this week is to find the answer to Mono-Green Food. Soul Sear and The Akroan War are close, but not quite the answer. Both of these cards have weak spots within Mono-Green Food, as their threats can quickly outgrow Soul Sear, and Thrashing Brontodon and Wilt are already desirable cards against Gruul Aggro.



I don't think Gruul Aggro is the best deck for this week, but it's still easily top three.

Dimir Rogues is fine. It's still one of the most popular and powerful decks in the format, but it has some work to do. The matchup against Gruul Aggro is bad but not damning, and the Esper Doom matchup is very favorable. There's just one problem: Mono-Green Food destroys you.



I'd stay away from Dimir Rogues this week unless you can solve that matchup. The meta shifts may be smaller this week, but Mono-Green Food will be a bigger portion of the metagame, and Esper Doom will drop off some. Dimir Rogues should take a backseat this weekend, and I do not recommend playing it.

Rakdos Ramp, aka Big Red, is actually doing more or less okay, but I don't think you should play it. Big Red ran on the success of fast Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, and there's a better way to do that now. You can still play Big Red and do pretty well because of a strong matchup against Gruul Aggro and a fine matchup against Mono-Green Food, but there's a better fast Ugin deck in town.

Temur Ramp is now Big Red's successor as the premier Ugin, the Spirit Dragon deck. It trades off some strength against Gruul Aggro for a better matchup against Doom Foretold decks and Mono-Green Food. The more controlling versions with Shark Typhoon saw a lot of success this past weekend.



I don't think Temur Ramp will be a large portion of the metagame, but you should be prepared to fight these new versions that are a lot more controlling. They now interact early and often and Shark Typhoon is a frightening card with the amount of mana that Temur Ramp generates. Be ready.

Dimir Control had a bad weekend, so why is it here? The rise of Mono-Green Food and the fall of Dimir Rogues and Rakdos Midrange means that Dimir Control may finally be well-positioned. While most of its good matchups are just barely above a coin flip, Dimir Control actually crushes the ramp decks and is one of Mono-Green Food's worst matchups.



Playing Dimir Control this weekend is a risky proposition because it relies on the metagame shifting more than I expect, but I do think players will register Dimir Control, and several of them will be rewarded for it. I put Dimir Control in this category to keep it on your radar. Don't skimp on your grindy cards just because Esper Doom is on the downswing.

This list is exactly what I wanted to be doing last weekend. Go a little bit bigger and a little bit grindier than the stock lists of Mono-Green Food and crush the mirrors while having extra power against decks trying to go over you. Ugin, the Spirit Dragon in particular is an excellent addition because Trail of Crumbs and The Great Henge allow you to find it so consistently.



There's not a whole lot I would change here. I expect this weekend to look a lot like last weekend, so Mono-Green Food with a mirror edge is perfect. No shame in just running it back.

While there aren't any big North American tournaments this weekend, the LATAM Challenge is already 300 players over capacity. This 2,000-player event feeds into the 512-player second phase where the Top 8 will compete for $45,000 in prizes and four Kaldheim Championship slots. While I've been unable to confirm if there will be coverage for this event, the pairings will be public and that means a lot of data. I'm looking forward to next week's article.



Until then: stay safe, stay home, wash your hands, and celebrate Thanksgiving over Zoom. Coronavirus is deadly serious, and while it sucks for everyone, we need to do what we can as a community to protect each other.
