This seems to have largely flown under the radar, but yesterday WotC gave us a list of cards which are going to be added to Magic Arena a week from now for the Historic format. The cards are:

Pioneering, pt. 2 (Pioneer Brews)
Some more ideas on how to approach Pioneer differently.
Pioneering (Brewing for Pioneer)
Ah, a new format. Well, sort of. It’s quite obvious that the first decks out there will be strong decks from Standards past or light versions of Modern decks. Like Rally or Saheeli Cat. I’m not going that route.
Ravnica Allegiance Brews, pt. 1 – Orzhov Knights
“What?”, you might be asking right now. Obviously, right now, I don’t really know what will be good when the set comes out, but what I can do is speculate. I mean, we do know the rest of the shocks are coming up, so that’s a start. It’ll give us the crucial Godless Shrine. Actually, the shocks are going to enable a lot of decks. There are already GR-decks without Stomping Grounds.
Guilds of Ravnica Brews, pt. 10 – Golgari Aristocrats
I’m using Aristocrats quite loosely here. Just some sacrifice synergies.
Guilds of Ravnica Brews, pt. 9 – Path of Mettle
Guilds of Ravnica Brews, pt. 8 – Drake Tribal
Not really tribal, as there aren’t any tribal support here. We just happen to have two Drakes with similar abilities available to us.
Guilds of Ravnica Brews, pt. 7 – The Rock
It feels like there’s definitely a Golgari deck of some sort in there. Back in the day the idea was that The Rock (early name for Golgari) would have like 45% against everything. I think the current philosophy enables quite a bit more.
Guilds of Ravnica Brews, pt. 6 – Monoblack Aggro
We already had quite enough 1-drops to make this work (at least a bit), so maybe…
The problem is more with the 2-drops, but Guilds does give this deck some long game… and Dead Weight. Granted, it’s no Fatal Push, but cheap removal is extremely important in a deck like this, especially since you have no usable discard.
Guilds of Ravnica Brews, pt. 5 – Monoblack Midrange
I mean, come on, I have to try….
