The "Meta" of standard
Standard Deck Help forum

So I've been out of MTG for quite some time but I've been looking back into jumping back in, but I have no idea what the standard meta is and curious to what the people's thoughts/ideas would be. Budget or not any ideas always worth the look!

Well, you can look at mtgtop8 for an idea of what's on top right now... or visit your LGS and see what everyone's playing. Try and put your own spin on something. If you're jumping in sans cards then maybe see about building something limited so you don't have to worry about rotation for awhile.

Energy is definitely the top deck in Standard right now, probably followed by Ramunap Red and UW God-Pharaoh's Gift. If you want to play something that goes against the current meta, UR or UB Control is a decent option.

If you want something a bit different, try cat tribal. There are a few variations out there right now. There are things that are just cats, there cats with tokens, and (although less common), cats with +1/+1 counters. The last one is pretty uncommon, but I like it a lot, and it's also cheaper to build, here's a deck list I created when Hour of Devastation came out: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/863112#paper
