Okay, once again a more casual list, but I think there’s a seed of something here.

Dragons of Tarkir Brews, pt. 8½ – Enduring Scalelord 2.0
A more convoluted version of this. For whatever reason, I’ve been thinking about this and came up with both Naya and Bant versions, both based on copying effects.
These are very casual. I don’t think these could be tuned enough to work in standard. On the other hand, I never do see the really great combos, so how would I know?
Dragons of Tarkir Brews, pt. 8 – Enduring Scalelord
Dragons of Tarkir Brews, pt. 7 – Monogreen Aggro
This has been widely discussed and for a reason. There’s a couple of very good tools. This is my take.
Dragons of Tarkir Brews, pt. 5 – Big Butts
Dragons of Tarkir Brews, pt. 4 – UG Value
They are clearly pushing morphs, or megamorphs. Why not try to do something with them?
Dragons of Tarkir Brews, pt. 3 – GW Aggro
What’s the most expensive card besides the planeswalkers in Dragons of Tarkir right now? As of this writing (according to MagicCardMarket) its this thing:
Beating seven mythics thusfar in the MCM database from the set.
Dragons of Tarkir Brews, pt. 2 – White Weenie
As one of the mainstay archetypes in the game, White Weenie always seems to be around… Except that right now it isn’t. Sure, there’s BW-Warriors deck out there, but its not quite the same. The problem is that there aren’t usable two drops out there. Sure, there are two-drops such as [scryfall]Seeker of the Way[/scryfall], but you don’t necessarily want that for your weenie deck, which is going to be full of creatures.
Thankfully, Dragons of Tarkir brings us a couple of good ones. And I have a plan…
Card Spotlight: Narset Transcendent (and a Brew)
Planeswalkers are always eyecatching, so here’s the recently spoiled Narset:
Of course, most people will first think WU Control, but no. You need to think this through.
Dragons of Tarkir Brews, pt. 1 – Monoblue Devotion
Wizards seems to always do this: There are decks that are really strong for a season. Then, after rotation, these decks are taken apart. They lose a number of key cards. But then, after a couple of sets, when rotation is once again closing in, they give those decks a second window.
In this case, Monoblue Devotion is getting a few minor improvements and one huge jump ahead.
