Title: The new Standard?
Post by: bmc25 on March 31, 2015, 01:19:17 PM

What is the new standard

When I use to build decks I went with a set-up like this for 90% of my decks

Hopper
Revealer
Wanderer
2-liner
Shuffler
NT only
Female Only
1st-Round protect

Dragon Raid

Now what is the new standard for:
1) Lost Souls
2) Sites
3) Doms

I know there is some variance, but what do you go with 90% of the time?

There's enough variety in special ability Lost Souls now that I don't believe there is a "standard" Soul set. Same with dominants (because of the dom cap). Dragon Raid is growing in popularity, but IMO Sites aren't prevalent enough to make it a standard inclusion.

Yeah, it's really dependent on the deck, other than like, SoG/NJ.

I would actually argue that it's just SoG. I've been testing a few decks that replace NJ with either Holy Spirit or GoYS and it's not as outrageous an idea as one might first think... 8)
