Dimir or Goldgari
Standard Deck Help forum

I've been trying to decide for weeks but I still can't decide.
Which is more powerful in standard right now ? Golgari or dimir ? surveil or undergrowth?
If you can share your thoughts (pros and cons) and a few combos it would really helped me pick one.
Both is playable right now, standart may be best since like forever. Golgari should be stronger overall, but Dimir is nice if you are playing on a budget.

Golgari is mainly focused on the Explore mechanic from Ixalan. There are a couple of undergrowth cards used but undergrowth isnt the main focus of the entire deck. Still I personally think Golgari is better than Dimir at the time

I'm going to add that is better than at the moment.
The Explore mechanic helps to strengthen colours that are ALREADY strong.
There is so much removal in these colours right now, particularly with the two Vraskas that are available.
Assassin's Trophy and Vraska's Contempt just push them over the edge.

Well, this really depends on your budget. If you have the money, building golgari midrange is amazing. I have been playing a great list that is a lot of fun and wins a lot. It can be found on mtggoldfish.com. It explores a ton and uses that mechanic to dig through your list to find the removal you need. Also, don't worry about assassin's trophy, you only really need one in the deck, as you don't want to ramp your opponent too much and you will have plenty of removal to get rid of anything your opponent has. If you want to budget, I would suggest playing a dimir discard deck. I have seen some of these lists running around my standard meta game. It runs disinformation campaign, duress, bounce spells, just make sure that bullhide ferox isn't in a bunch of decks at your store or wherever you play.

I have found that Trophies sideboard and Casts main is the way to go for Golgari.
BTW Sultai control is a really cool deck.

It probably would have helped if I had provided a link to this deck sooner Golgari Midrange
I consider it to be one of the better decks around at the moment.

I mean, you use both in Golgari, which is the #1 deck rn.
Dimir sucks BTW.
Their rankings are Golgari at #1, and Dimir #13, being beaten by Jeskai, Izzet, Grixis, Selesnya, Boros, Mono-Red, Esper, and Mono-Blue, to name some.
