Red Aggro or G/W Renown

Standard Deck Help forum

Posted on Aug. 11, 2015, 1:43 p.m. by syandell86

Hello community! Im looking to take one of these decks to FNM and possibly a few SCG invitational, trials/etc. Which of them do you think would do better? I know Red Aggro works, but with it winning Pro Tour, theres a lot of hate going around, Im sure. My local meta is currently Abzan, GR, Dragons, Goblins, Thopters & other random stuff thrown in. This seems to be the current meta anyway.

I don't really have the option to make big changes to either deck and I won't play Eidolon.

Can't get this to paste right on my phone. Sorry.

The GW renown seems better able to deal with fliers.

I'd go with that one.

I'd say other stuff but you said you didn't want input.

I'd love input. I just can't buy $30 cards.

It's MUCH easier if you can throw up two deck lists and link to them.

Otherwise, if I'm not sure EXACTLY what a card says, I have to go offsite and look it up. Which is a pain in the neck.

I had some ideas yesterday but can't remember what they are now. Deck lists would help.

I remembered one. I think Knight of the White Orchid might be better than Topan Freeblade.
