Standard Midrange RGW (Naya)

Sideboard


This week's question: Flinthoof Boar vs. Blind Obedience. Should I sideboard Flinthoof Boar to be used in aggro matchups, as a 3/3 on turn 2 may be more effective than hoping for Blind Obedience to slow my opponent down enough for me to gain board control


This is my attempt to make the ideal Naya Midrange deck to combat the top decks that currently hold a strong grip on Top 8 Standard in tournament play. With the exception of a few cards, this deck is completely built, and I've begun bringing it to local FNM's. With how diverse the meta is currently for standard, I've tried to build this deck with flexibility in mind. The large amounts of life gain this deck generates usually help it outlast more aggressive builds, with the exception of the occasional blitz deck, and it's heavy hitters late game in conjunction with Kessig Wolf Run ramp help me swing in for lethal late game with a single creature, usually on a one turn clock.

I did take this deck to FNM this past Friday, but since it's been a busy weekend I haven't gotten the chance to write up a significant analysis like last FNM. Expect one soon!

Preview: I went 3-2 and placed ninth this weekend, although I could've placed up to 6th if my random matches were in my favor. Lost 1-2 to both Esper Control and Prime Speaker Bant. Will do an analysis on changes to the deck against control as well, especially in regards to sideboard changes.
