MTG Standard TIER LIST for WEEK 6 Thunder Junction | State of the Meta

[@mattt961]

Beautiful job. Well done.

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Appreciate ya

[@navebucketdude]

Love this series! Had to take a break this season but it’s nice to be able to still follow the meta :)

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Ayyyy! Thank you! Glad we can help

[@athenathebun]

After seeing Elder Dragon War, I LOVE it against Esper. It hits so much and then a 4/4 flier is a real threat a lot of the time. Also helps you pitch dead cards to find gas.

Fair point, hadn't considered siding in for that matchup. - Riktus

[@readingrainbow8112]

Awesome video!

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Ayyyyy, appreciate the kind words

[@cvdmtg]

Another banger State of the Meta, great job!! Can’t wait to see gurk take down RC Dallas ;)

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Appreciate ya

[@acemartinez7406]

An unforseen deck not even this tier list took the whole tournament down. Gruul aggro came out of left field.

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Twas intriguing. - Riktus

All those beautiful alt arts with these decks

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Ayyyy thank you! - Riktus

[@m0b1us_1]

Another week under the sun, another state of the meta - all is right with the world.

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Ayyyy! Appreciate the kind words.

[@Bosmagnus]

Keep up the great videos. Love the format and your personalities.

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Ayyy! Thank you kindly

[@graemescott5282]

For the Gruul Terror list, Titan of Industry ....copying Titan to gain 15 life and making three 4/4 as a floor is pretty great ...putting a shield counter on Calamity is also pretty good...being able to blow up 3 enchantments/artifacts is also big game... copying Titan and making a 4/4, lets you draw all the cards with a Trailblazer in play....11 damage with Terror of the Peaks.

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Color me intrigued. - Riktus

[@athenathebun]

Banger job as always guys! As for Selesnya Ramp, Topiary Stomper rotates sadly :c but I'm sure Bloomburrow will give us another thing to put in that spot haha

[@TheMTGRebellion]

So help me god. I'm gonna play it post-rotation now out of spite. Gotta hack into Arena and live my best life with Stomper. ;) - Riktus

[@erixfire]

Nice!

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Ayyyy thank you!

[@perudabo631]

Oooh, the Rock squeezed in finally. It's a grind, but Imma believer

*queue Shrek music* I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believeeeee. - Riktus

We all want to believe. I will be re working towards this list for the weekend

The negotiators do be hostile. - Riktus

Ayyy thank you! - Riktus

[@jakobfrey8159]

Great one! 😍

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Appreciate your kind words

[@dane_anubis6213]

If your still working on gruul terror there was a list that made top 8 in the Australian Regional Championship. Looked like it had a good run and handled the meta well.

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Ayyyy, gonna take a peek. - Riktus

Ayyyyyyy!

[@silasvert]

Hi, guys. What do you think about doing short videos on the sidebording of a deck. It's not the complete video that you guys are already doing. Something like: you don't speak about the main deck. Just show the main deck and start talking about the changes from the sideboard against the most played decks. 5min should be enough. I don't know what people think about it, but it seems very interesting for me and should give a lot of views.

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Funny you say that. Our first pieces of content were these and trust us when we say it was not worth it. You need like 100K times more views on shorts to even see any kind of monetization than you do typical videos. While we love the idea of short videos on this it really wouldn't do the decks justice. We prefer showing all the logic and all the matchups. Check out our Sideboard Guides and let us know what you think ;) -MAX

[@peteeldredge1158]

Thanks guys - March (NEO) and topiary (SNC) are leaving with rotation

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Yeaaa, realized this after the fact. It's on me for not double-checking. My bad. - Riktus

[@seanhayes6715]

Where are you folks??? 2 weeks no vid?

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Taking some time to alter one of our studios and spend some well-earned rest with friends/family. Tis a lot of work each week. We should be back next week though :) - Riktus

Ayyyyy!

[@iamKerrad]

Domain got pushed off :)

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Atraxa had to die sometime, canonically speaking ;) - Riktus

[@CanadianBaconPwnage]

​@@TheMTGRebellion So what deck is the metaphorical building that fell on her?

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Azorius Control and Temur Analyst done did it. - Riktus

[@pauljimerson8218]

Max does your domain has any hope? Anything they can do to get back to relevance?

[@TheMTGRebellion]

It still has decent matchups against a wide range of decks. The problem is Control takes up a large share. The meta will need to shift back toward midrange. I don't see Domain shifting to beat Control enough. -MAX

[@pauljimerson8218]

Darth R what's ur build of Azorious control and where does it differ

[@TheMTGRebellion]

www.moxfield.com/decks/VvkK8xmPGU-5J30pDOdJ0g Take a peek, it's slightly different, but has done extremely well for me so far (95% win rate in mythic at 19-1).

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Yup yup

[@mikhailmendoza6760]

Is domain dead

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Roughly speaking, yes. - Riktus

[@Mine4dayzz]

Ngl I don’t understand how the 4c slogurk list works

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Step 1: triggers begin. Step 2: *blank stare* Step 3: Opponent scoops in frustration. Rinse. Repeat. ;) - Riktus

[@SaltMinerChad]

😂😂

[@TheMTGRebellion]

^Salt knows. The Slogurk struggle in paper is real. Honestly though, it's just midrange with a lot of redundancy and math built into it. You're not doing anything broken typically, you're mostly just a hyper-resilient mid-range pile that can shift gears in a hurry. - Riktus

[@r4v4g3r]

No love for Pirates in the current standard 😡 it’s a secret high tier 2 deck imo.

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Gotta prove out in tournaments to get on the tier list. Love the archetype personally, but results don't lie, ya know? - Riktus

[@r4v4g3r]

@@TheMTGRebellion Oh yeah, I totally understand why it’s not on the official tier lists, I’ve been playing it for a while and still haven’t run into anyone else playing pirates even once lol but it actually does surprisingly well against the meta overall and I reached Mythic #309 with it alone, surprising even myself.

[@TheMTGRebellion]

Just need ya to go smash a digital tourney so we can highlight it
