I was putting together some decks for the Standard Tournement at Astral Castle using cards I actually had or could get, and came up with a few options that actually seem pretty good.
First I built a Mono White Soldier deck, it is the one I am least thrilled with. I never really have liked using little white men, but if that is the kind of kinky stuff you are into, you should like this deck:
Mono White Soldiers
23 Plains
4 Eilte Vanguard
4 Akrasan Squire
4 Kazandu Blademaster
4 Kor Aeronaut
4 Veteran Armorsmith
4 Veteran Swordsmith
4 Honor of the Pure
4 Path to Exile
3 Ajani Goldmane
2 Harm's Way
Sideboard A (Interesting One)
4 White Knight
1 Undead Slayer
2 Harm's Way
3 Ranger of Eos
2 Gargoyle Castle
3 Captain of the Watch
Sideboard B (Solid One)
4 White Night
2 Harm's Way
4 Ranger of Eos
4 Brave the Elements
1 Oblivion Ring
This next one had different versions, but in the end I like one over the other. You could probably morph it to involve landfall, but I think this deck is more consistant and has more late game action. It is basically your Zendikar generation Jund Cascade deck:
Jund Cascade
4 Verdant Catacombs
4 Savage Lands
3 Rootbound Crag
3 Dragonskull Summit
2 Terramorphic Expanse
1 Gargoyle Castle
3 Mountain
3 Swamp
2 Forest
4 Bloodchief Ascension
4 Blightning
4 Putrid Leech
4 Bloodbraid Elf
4 Bituminous Blast
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Burst Lightning
3 Maelstrom Pulse
3 Jund Charm
1 Broodmate Dragon
Sideboard
1 Gargoyle Castle
2 Broodmate Dragon
1 Maelstrom Pulse
1 Magma Phoenix
2 Executioner's Capsule
1 Jund Charm
3 Thought Hemmorage
4 Great Stable Stag
I really like Ececutioner's Capsule, it is removal for Baneslayer Angel that is not horrible to cascade into at times.
Next up is the a new deck that I haven't seen anything like on the internet yet. It has potential to be awesome depending on the metagame, and you can modify so that the sideboard discard (Sculler and Blightning) is maindeck. This deck can actually path its own guy ftw pumps. Basically it is hyper aggro:
BRW Landfall Zoo
4 Arid Mesa
4 Marsh Flats
4 Dragonskull Summit
3 Plains
3 Mountain
3 Swamp
4 Stepe Lynx
4 Goblin Guide
4 Vampire Lacerator
4 Plated Geopede
4 Hellspark Elemental
3 Bloodghast
3 Shambling Remains
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Burst Lightning
4 Path to Exile
1 Bloodchief Ascension
Sideboard
4 Vampire Nighthawk
4 Tidehollw Sculler
4 Blightning
3 Zealous Persecution
I think this deck has so much potential. The Bloodchief Ascension is good, but you don't want to draw too many. Zealous Persecution and Vampire Nighthawk are pretty awesome in any kind of creature mirror. I like the fact that unlike other decks where you are stretching to find card, there are so many cards you want to fit in but can't; you can basically can build it other ways depending on the metagame.
Those are all the decks for now, I am interested in any ideas people have and want to see what goes on at the Star City 5k this weekend.
