		<description><![CDATA[Most players probably think The Aristocrats is the premier Black/Red/White (B/R/W) deck in Standard. However, B/R/W Midrange actually surpassed The Aristocrats on Magic Online as the best performing B/R/W deck.
In my metagame calculations, B/R/W Midrange is ranked sixth with 4.4% metagame share while The Aristocrats is seventh with 3.6%.
There are a couple reasons why this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today on Starcitygames, Dayv Doberne pointed us to a sweet Standard rogue deck featuring Immortal Servitude. It was played by Elliot Smith at the Starcitygames Classic tournament in Pittsburgh two weekends ago. He finished second out of 168 players.
The deck is Green/White/Black (G/W/B), or Junk, and it uses a bunch of powerful two-drops to fuel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because Voice of Resurgence, Unflinching Courage, and Advent of the Wurm have become popular cards, the hyper aggro decks with Burning-Tree Emissary have lost some value. Those three green/white cards from Dragon&#8217;s Maze are pretty good against super fast decks. 
This development has opened up the metagame for Zombies. Diregraf Ghoul and Geralf&#8217;s Messenger are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bant Hexproof, or Bant Auras, is a great example of The 13% Rule of Deck Building. It got two powerful cards from Dragon&#8217;s Maze, Unflinching Courage and Voice of Resurgence, and it&#8217;s done well in the first couple of high-profile tournaments of the new Standard season.
There have been three high profile tournaments so far and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since Return to Ravnica became legal for Standard, it&#8217;s been unfortunate that two of the best token cards, Lingering Souls and Intangible Virtue, do not play that well with the Selesnya populate mechanic.
Casting Rootborn Defenses to get a 1/1 flyer is okay but it&#8217;s not that powerful. I&#8217;d much rather populate a 3/3 Centaur [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the interesting developments in these early days of Dragon&#8217;s Maze Standard is the emergence of Bant Flash and the disappearance of Blue/White/Red (U/W/R) Flash.
It seems like Flash players are moving to the version with green instead of red. Two weekends ago at the first big tournament of Dragon&#8217;s Maze, there was a Bant [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s a link to the top 25 decklists. Note that the 15th place deck was incorrectly labeled. It should be Dark Naya instead of Jund.

I did some digging on the card choices to see why the deck did well. It turns out cards like Desecration Demon, Mutilate, and Liliana of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Varolz, the Scar-Striped is one of the most interesting cards in Dragon&#8217;s Maze because he has such a unique ability. His scavenge ability adds value to every creature that hits your graveyard.
In a creature-heavy deck, if he&#8217;s left unchecked, he can dominate the board by buffing your creatures with the ones that have died. By [...]]]></description>

It was cool to see the deck do well in the last Standard Open of Gatecrash Standard because the deck was basically non-existent throughout the season.
