Standard Tournament deck - help!

Deck Help forum

Posted on July 31, 2012, 11:24 p.m. by dakrys4

Hey all, more or less new to magic. I was hoping to get some help with my deck that I'm hoping I can work into a standard tournament and not get blown out of the water every game.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/redwhite-angelhuman-deck/This is my deck. I've already gotten a little bit of input into what it's problems are, but I'd want some more. Never been to a tournament before, and I've never built a deck before this really either, so I'd really like to hear what you think.

What kinds of things should I expect from other players, what kinds of things should I consider in terms of tempo, etc. I need general standard tournament information more than anything else.

The big players in Standard are still Delver decks, G/R ramp/aggro decks, and Reanimator/Solar Flare decks. If you go to a standard tournament, expect to see a lot of these.

If you can deal with Delver's tempo, G/R's consistent damage output, and Reanimator/Solar Flare's staying power, then you will be in good shape.

Against Delver, look out for Delver of Secrets  Flip , Restoration Angel , Mana Leak , Vapor Snag , and Geist of Saint Traft .

Against R/G ramp/aggro, look out for Rancor , Hellrider , Primeval Titan , Wolfir Silverheart , and Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip

Against Solar Flare look out for Sun Titan , Unburial Rites , and Phantasmal Image

Against Reanimator look out for Griselbrand , Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite , Unburial Rites , Wurmcoil Engine
