Episode Thirteen: Aristocrats

Published: Sept. 7, 2019, 5 p.m.

When a new deck debuts at a Pro Tour, it typically doesn't do amazingly well.  Be it sub-optimal cards, slightly wrong metagame call, or even just old fashioned bad luck; these archetypes will get people talking, but won't set the world on fire.  This week, we look at a deck that did the exact opposite.  Breaking out at Pro Tour Gatecrash, Lingering Souls and company led the Magic world on four distinctly different versions of Aristocrats and kind of turning deckbuilding on its head.
