Strixhaven Schools Standard... Sort Of Apr 30, 2021

Show notes

Strixhaven’s initial appearance on the Standard stage didn’t really blow anyone’s socks off, but beneath a static top of the metagame, Gerry and Bryan see some potential. They’ve bonded over a love for a surprise deck that you won’t see coming, and they’re still holding on to hope that Sacrifice decks are starting to figure things out. If you’re not satisfied with the status quo, let Gerry and Bryan guide you forward!
