So, what I attempted to do here is to make a deck based on my understanding of the mythological Norse giants.

EDH Deck Time – Valentin / Lisette
These cards are kind of weird. They are clearly meant to work together, but obviously, you can’t have each side available to you at the same time, so you need figure out how use both sides. I’m not going to do that. Basically, I’m making a horde deck, which tries to grow the creatures though black’s ability to gain life consistently. It is also possible that Valentin is itself a nice plan in certain contexts, where graveyards are well used.
THB Brews, pt. 1 – Ashiok
Spoilers for new Theros started yesterday. There were leaks before, but I’m going to be boring and join the no-leaks crowd. This means that we only have three cards to play with at this point. Not sure there was anything Standard playable anyhow. (Although there might have been, I just don’t remember.)
But let’s start with this.
Historic Brews
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:
[draft]Serra Ascendant
Soul Warden
Kinsbaile Cavalier
Treasure Hunt
Distant Melody
Cryptbreaker
Hypnotic Specter
Phyrexian Arena
Tendrils of Corruption
Kiln Fiend
Goblin Matron
Hidetsugu’s Second Rite
Elvish Visionary
Fauna Shaman
Imperious Perfect
Burning-Tree Emissary
Captain Sisay
Ornithopter
Mind Stone
Darksteel Reactor[/draft]
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 [card]Godless Shrine[/card]. Actually, the shocks are going to enable a lot of decks. There are already GR-decks without [card]Stomping Grounds[/card].
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.
