🚨Foundations BEST MTG Decks Standard | Meta Guide Week 3

[@edibleballbearings]

I love seeing rogue decks smash through the metagame like this! Moreover, Nithin entered mythic at #5 yesterday. Their play today brought #1.

[@MTGJoe]

Thanks for the update on progress

[@unamedperson1115]

thank you for being so kind and caring, need more people like you. Your'e selflessness is appreciated!!

[@DaedricSheep]

Subbing for the charity month (so thank you for putting that at the front of the video)! I'll happily stick around for standard talk while I learn the format.

[@MTGJoe]

Thanks. Started this last year and want to continue yearly to give back

[@vanishingGolem]

new subscriber here😊 i am so glad to have stumbled here as i was searching for sideboarding guides. keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@Entropy2352]

Nice! Almost missed the video because I thought it was best of 1. Would add the fact its about traditional, BO3, for those like me that specifically look for that

[@MTGJoe]

I usually do “Best of One” in the title for Bo1 content and anything just format name is traditional. KZbin Algorithm does better for “MTG Standard” vs “Standard Best of three”. Like notable reach differences which is why I was going this approach

[@PumpFistPUNK]

Where can u check out what algorythms do better? ​@@MTGJoe

[@MTGJoe]

I gauge it based on video views overall with different titles and then on the youtube studio side I can check the analytics for stats like impressions and click through rate. There are also 3rd part tools like VidIQ and TubeBuddy that provide some insights. A lot of trial and error to see what is creating reach

[@ericwittorff4062]

Video #2 done, ready for the next!!

[@PumpFistPUNK]

Thanks for the content! Oh btw i got fith in the jaffwr mosh pit, ty for anouncing it taking place! Though melee bug made it so a stock list and somone, alex something, got listed instead of my list evwrywhere. Golgari with bloodletter slasher, obliterators and fight spells. Still tinkering some while laddering. But hard to tell the worth of the inclusions.

[@MTGJoe]

Nice finish! There will be a pioneer mosh pit event in coming weeks that I’ll be doing commentary for

[@PumpFistPUNK]

@MTGJoe tyry i will try to check it out!

[@RagsTattoo]

God, I wish I could craft some other decks. Right now I'm trying to play the Azorius Oculus and it seems impossible! A lot of removals putting creatures into exile. Unless you are playing a really strong control deck that don't rely on creatures (mono white control, for example), seems that decks with few creatures will struggle a lot from now on...

[@MTGJoe]

the Simic terror list isn't too wildcard intense beyond mana base. Check the Azorius artifact deck as well since your have the UW manabase

[@RagsTattoo]

@@MTGJoe Yeah, simic was my go to option haha I'll check the artifact version and see how it works for me!

[@bjj21]

They got rid of Farewell, which I had a lot of decks built around. Ridiculous

[@MTGJoe]

I mean farewell made a lot of cards unplayable. None of the enchantment decks, forge, overlord, oculus would exist

[@fallguybuddy2654]

Joe will you be participating in the Pioneer masters streamer event?

[@MTGJoe]

Unfortunately not, a bunch of folks were dropped a while back and I have just been ghosted since. They don’t respond to email/discord/twitter which sucks

[@fallguybuddy2654]

@ that sucks, well I’ll try and catch you live.

[@MTGJoe]

@fallguybuddy2654 if I don’t play in an RCQ this weekend I’ll do a stream

[@jmoney9494]

I have only played Bo1 and tried a couple games of Bo3 and in-between different matches I couldn't add any sideboard cards? Is there a way to fix that if it's happening?

[@MTGJoe]

That’s unfortunately been a long standing arena bug that occasionally will happen. They haven’t announced a formal fix just yet. Arena side issue. Nothing in you

[@jmoney9494]

@MTGJoe than you, that is unfortunate

[@commoncommenter623]

This has never happened to me

[@MTGJoe]

It’s a random bug. Not impacting everyone, all the time. Usually happens if you have a brief disconnect.

[@jmoney9494]

@commoncommenter623 if I try to remove cards from my deck it won't let me add any back in and won't let me submit a deck with less than 60 cards and had to wait for time out for match to begin with no changes

[@Rodrigo-ly3pg]

The meta is disgustingly powerful, simple and boring right now

[@noobtuber10]

I feel like the meta is more open than folks are givin credit, im seeing a ton of rouge decks locally

[@Rodrigo-ly3pg]

​@@noobtuber10 Locally means nothing bro... sorry look at the top decks in this video Braindead strategies are at the top of the meta

[@noobtuber10]

@@Rodrigo-ly3pg I mean i have a pretty much unlosing mu to both dimir and golgari midrange, Mono white tokens, boros auras, and domain. So idk what to tell ya, this is on arena as well :)
