Again, some thoughts on the deck and a tournament report from an FNM.

Dragons of Tarkir Brews, pt. 6 – Break Through the Line
There’s an oft-forgotten little gem in Fated Reforged: [scryfall]Break Through the Line[/scryfall].
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.
Standard Deck Time: White Weenie (splashing Blue)
As those who read my stuff regularly know, I like mono-colored decks. The thing is, you need large enough card pool to make those. Sure, you can try, but its hard. After the new block system and the faster rotation, the usual card pool will be smaller than it is now. For example, right now we have three large sets and three small sets. This is the maximal pool in the new system, but right now I have two more large sets to go before rotation. So, perhaps its time to broaden my horizons. Sort of.
Fate Reforged Brews, pt. 10 – Selesnya
Is [scryfall]Dromoka, the Eternal[/scryfall] constructed playable? Not sure. It seems like it was pushed to be, but there’s other cards competing for its spot ([scryfall]Wingmate Roc[/scryfall], [scryfall]Nissa Worldwaker[/scryfall] and [scryfall]Ajani, Mentor of Heroes[/scryfall] all come to mind).
However, the cycle of legendary dragons has clearly been pushed for constructed.
