Bramble Familiar and Invasion of Alara Team up to Make an Exciting New Deck in Standard

Scott Trepanier2023-09-22T14:49:20-04:00September 22nd, 2023|Categories: MTG|Tags: Bramble Familiar, Cemetery Desecrator, Invasion of Alara, MTG, MTG Arena, MTG Wilds of Eldraine|0 Comments

Hello, fellow planeswalkers! Welcome to Standard Weekly! Invasion of Alara was thought of as a meme card for most of its time in standard, but not anymore. It may be the most important card in the current standard format because of a new card from Wilds of Eldraine: Bramble Familiar. Together they have taken the 5 Color Control deck to a new place which typically means the game is over once you can successfully cast Invasion of Alara. On the surface, Invasion of Alara does not appear to be one of the strongest invasions from March of the Machine. [...]

Hello fellow planeswalkers! Welcome to standard weekly. As expected, Wilds of Eldraine has opened deck building possibilities. Faeries, food, rats, roles, and knights are some of the new archetypes from the set. Of these archetypes, Dimir Faeries looks like a playable and competitive option. Wilds of Eldraine provided Faeries additional quality creature options and with key support cards that give the deck the ability to grind out victories against the better mid-range and control decks in standard. DIMIR FAERIES, Scott Trepanier CREATURES: (26) 4 Faerie Dreamthief 4 Sleep-Cursed Faerie 2 [...]
