What to choose: Naya or Bant

Standard forum

Posted on Jan. 22, 2013, 10:55 a.m. by TorrentFreak

Hello Everyone,

I have been crafting up some ideas for my new standard deck for the Gatecrash release. Currently my two choices come down to Bant Aura, or Naya Aggro. I know it is impossible to foresee which will be more competitive, but I would like a few opinions on which may be better.

I will be taking my new deck to FNMs, and will be playing the standard format. My play stay has always been more aggressive.

Bantchantments got a new and super-powered tool in Gift of Orzhova, so I recommend going with that if you already have the creature base.

Thanks Jimhawk, appreciate the response. I'll put together a deck and see how the end results look.

@ TorrentFreak You may even want to test some of your deck builds on Cockatrice. If you don't already know what Cockatrice is, it's a great Application for playing MTG online much like MTGO but without a flashy GUI. And, it's 100% free of course :D

veladem, no I haven't had a chance yet. Once I get home tonight, I will begin building the deck with the GtC cards.
