thnxs everyone who helped me with aussie storm but now i want to ask what is the best ddeck in the format so far. I see lots of ppl playing a deck with blink(green/blue/white) which is so far the only deck that i ahve seen thats good. I wanna make a deck that can easily win agiasnt that match up and still handle gruul ok thnxs. if u have anyother opinions such as what ut hink is the best deck to play and possibly the card list that would help too! thnxs

mga is the most consistant winning deck imo.. if was to attend any big tournemnt MGA would be my pick .. it doesn't have any terrible matchups either

there are many good decks

BG Pox Rack with Goyf (tarmopox)

GWU blink control

MGA

GU Aggrocontrol

GR Gargadon Gruul

Bridge combo

Aussie Storm (I presume this is Swath Storm combo)

Angelfire

.... I am sure I am forgetting some of them here, but the point is that there is no such thing as "the best deck" in this format.

To determine a best deck (and i believe you can) it depends on 3 factors:

1. How many decks does this one beat?
(there's not one that beats them all with no bad MU)

2. How many decks beat your bad MUs?
(If your bad MU's are easy to tear apart with most other decks you can gamble that if you survive r1 and 2 your past them)

3. What is the meta?
(If everyone is playing Martyr then Tarmorack is the best deck...off the top of my head.)

Play the deck that fits your playstyle best.
And if you're a very good player you should try not to go aggro these days and stick to something like Chord, Angelfire, Martyr or even Dredge.

Right off the bat i wanna say i am not bragging. However i am running a U/W/b blink control because i found the green to hurt consistancy and the control becomes sub-par. I will prolly post a decklist sometime soon(has no rav block cards, preparing for Oct states) I have yet to find a bad matchup in the current Meta aside from th MM(without Green, if they run green i pretty easily out control). Tarmorack losses since most of my cards have flashback(at this point 12, may change) so discarding doesn't hurt that much and tiding's/teachings/think twice along with selective land drops keeps my hand pretty full and a spellburst locks them hard. Condemn x4, WoG x4, Venser x2, man lands and tef work well together to completely own any kind of aggro even MGA at it's peak. Dredge losses to the 2 evac's i run, and Aussie storm and the like can be hurt badly when you hit the right spells. All and all i am 16-0 for matches on MWS playing competitive decks(31-0 if you count morons).

Point of the long message is that U/W control(splash black and run teachings) has strong or at least not unfavorable matches in today's meta.
