Best Standard Jank
Standard Deck Help forum

Hello all! I trust everyone has been enjoying Dominaria as much as me. One thing that is always fun in a new set is brewing up fun new decks, particularly janky ones. So, what are your favorite jank brews that you have seen or come up with this new Standard season?
My particular favorite his been this The Antiquities War deck. It either wins or loses in glorious fashion, but it is a fun surprise for people if they end up losing. It will never be a great deck, but it's been fun and that's my main metric.
Post your decks below for others to share and try out!
Happy Brewing!

Double-Double, with Animal Fries built by clayperce is the best jank I've seen for this set.
Even the NAME is jank.

Thanks so much, Argy!
And yeah, though it's not quite where I want it on the competitiveness scale yet, it's about right on the jankometer! :-D

These decks are great! 40fy that deck looks quite awesome actually. I am glad you found a way to use Jaya since most people were just complaining how bad/how not Chandra level good she is.
buckeyetron that deck looks fun. How's it been running for you?
Thanks for sharing that glorious deck Argy and creating it clayperce. What a great name too. Though I think any deck with Lyra in it has a chance to be good. That card is a beating, especially with double-strike!

Cragon18 i've only been able to draw sample hands with it on this site since i'm still waiting for them to arrive in the mail, but it seems to be pretty efficient beatdown. just need to figure out a sideboard. it will only get better when kaladesh and amonkhet rotate out in the fall, and i dont have to worry about current powerhouses like The Scarab God or God-Pharaoh's Gift decks, or Fatal Push.
when i was at the prerelease, one of my opponents played Champion of the Flame and Valduk, Keeper of the Flame in the same game and equipped and/or enchanted both. they beat me into the ground.

Lich's Mastery. Get that down and then cast Oketra's Last Mercy for example. Gain 15 life, draw 15 cards. Keep the best 7, but have an enormous buffer against ever needing to sacrifice Mastery.

My deck Lich Self-Mill is pretty janky, but also somewhat effective. I may need a win condition other than milling though. Could you help with that? The basic idea is that you mill yourself once you get a Lich's Mastery so you dont kill yourself.

Thanks jubale for your advice! I put oketras last mercy in there!

I thought that my deck Jaya's Magical Shotgun (Wizard Control) would be nothing but glorious jank for days. After an admittedly small amount of testing, it's been doing better than I expected...
Regardless, if killing your opponent in epic fashion is your primary goal, I recommend giving it a try.
