I haven't really been playing much since Shadows came out, aside from drafting. Standard Showdown has me interested in playing Standard again. There are 3 decks I'm really looking into building, G/R Energy, G/R Combustible (Ramp), or W/R Humans. I'm finding that the G/R Combustible deck seems really fun in testing, but was curious to see what people thought about which of them were more competitive for Standard Showdown.

I love the Combustible deck, and was actually thinking of doing that myself. I'm not much of a standard player and was thinking the same thing, but just for the most fun I think combustible is really cool.
As for most competitive, depends on you're meta. I personally would run energy as it's cheap, efficient, fast, and competitive.

That's another thing to mention, I have no idea what my meta will be like. I haven't played anything other than draft since Shadows came out, so everyone will have completely different decks.

Here's a deck that has seen some popularity, but I've tweaked to my liking to have a tad more interaction...
Puppies and Kittens
Standard
SCORE: 11 | 20 COMMENTS | 2139 VIEWS | IN 4 FOLDERS
I've been undefeated with it 2 weeks in a row.
Notable wins: Grixis Dynavolt Tower Control (2 times), Grixis Thing in the Ice Flip control, Mardu Gearhulk Reanimator, B/R Aggro (the one with Bomat Courier), R/W Vehicles, Mardu Planeswalker Control, and U/W Flash
Give it a try. I like it, it's consistent and has game.
