Naya in Standard?

Standard forum

Posted on Jan. 17, 2014, 4:08 p.m. by DMR

I have a question for all of you that I'd like some feedback on; with Born of the Gods releasing Temple of Plenty and some very interesting new creatures, could Naya become a viable combination in standard once again? I'm very tempted to try for a Naya midrange deck, but first I just wanted to hear some additional feedback.

It is definitely still a viable build; it's remained pretty solid through Theros anyways.With big creatures like Boros Reckoner , Fleecemane Lion , Stormbreath Dragon , and Loxodon Smiter ; excellent removal in Chained to the Rocks , Selesnya Charm , and Mizzium Mortars , there is no issue in running a Naya midrange deck in the current standard meta.

Link goes to the Naya deck that I recently took apart in favor of a modern build: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/now-this-is-how-you-naya/

Slivers are also a decent Naya option.

Naya decks literally run "good" cards and throw them together, which is why it's called Naya Good Stuff

Naya is very viable, my close friend runs a naya aggro and went to vegas and got 15th, his name is chase, look at his deck. I built a similar deck, but I am in love with how strong blue is at the moment.

I'm with arimondry except I would include that naya control/midrange/aggro are all viable and you see them here and there placing well at many places like IQs or bigger. Don't forget Voice of Resurgence

Thanks for all the feedback! However, I decided on another deck that I built that I think will be great! Check it out if you want: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/selesnya-aggrange-close-enough/
