EMN Gauntlet

Standard forum

Obviously, EMN Standard is far from solved at this point. But if you're looking for decklists and articles about the potential top tier decks, you're in the right place!

Please feel free to post decklists in large format (it makes it easier for others to find them for playtesting). Here's the syntax ... just replace the "slug name" with the one from the your deck's URL:

[[deck-large:bant-company-emn-by-kyle-boggemes]]

Similarly, here's the syntax for posting a link to an article (you can also use the URL/Link button, just above the area where you enter comments):

"... and here's [the article](http://www.gatheringmagic.com/kyleboggemes-07082016-eldritch-moon-brews/) ..."

Good luck (and good skill) on your builds and playtesting!

P.S. No worries if you just want to lurk. Please just click the Subscribe button here or underneath the Comment window. Thanks!

Here's the deck I mentioned in the OP:

... and here's the article it came from (which has some other interesting brews as well).

Bant Company looks like a powerhouse still with the EMN additions. I like the deck quite a bit.

Obviously Bant is going to be a premium deck at least until Kaladesh, G/W still looks really good as well. This deck is neither of those, but I think it still stands a pretty good chance, it reaches its peak about a turn ahead of those and has quite a bit of staying power and certainly shouldn't be underestimated.

This one is more late game, but is also more inconsistent. Every time the deck has operated as it should it has won... the problem is just the consistency. If you want to play this competitively, I would recommend dropping to either Mardu or Naya depending on your playstyle. Bant is tempting but the deck doesn't really support Tamiyo, Field Researcher without all 5 colors.

This one is a very nice janky control combo deck that looks super fun to play

All in all just a few solid T2 decks and maybe even T1 depending on how the meta shapes up. All were fun to build and hopefully they spur some more deckbuilding ideas :)

Pretty self explanatory. It's an Assault Formation deck with the secondary win con of Tree of Perdition and Triskaidekaphobia

At fnm a couple days ago I was talking with everyone about what they think the top decks come eldritch moon will be. Obviously bant company gets even better, but surprisingly I heard the word "spirits" a whole lot during these conversations. This is my u/w spirits deck for eldritch moon.
