Options in Standard?
Standard forum

Okay... so the past several standard sets were unimpressive to me. If mostly because I'm an aggro player (BFZ and OGW... waaaaaay too slow). However, SOI finally looks interesting again. And despite doing poorly in the prerelease, I got some sweet removal in the form of the In Stone card (I don't remember the exact name), as well as Anguished unmaking. Throw in Westvale Abbey, and I definitely got my money's worth.
Now, my problem is that I'm preferably an aggro player, and my colors are R/G, aka the werewolves for this set. Should I aim for building a werewolf aggro build, or perhaps try out a B/W build instead? Or really, what's my best option for playing an aggro deck with SOI in the mix now?

In my opinion, B/R vampires will be the best Aggro deck. At least the most fun. With Olivia and a few madness cards, and the one-drop vampire that I can't think of right now, it will be a strong deck for sure. If you really want werewolves, it could definitely work, but it won't be as Aggro-ish. It will be more midrange, but that doesn't mean it's any worse. With Arlinn Kord and Silverfur Partisan, and the green werewolf enchantment, I think it could also be a strong contender.
