The post-rotation Magic: The Gathering meta is healthy, featuring cards from Bloomburrow and other Standard-legal sets that can now emerge as playable and competitive decks.

MTG Hall of Famer Frank Karsten broke down the Bloomburrow Standard meta on Aug. 8, featuring Midrange builds dominating the meta with a healthy mix of Aggro and Control. The decks played were based on recent tournaments, like the Magic Online Standard Challenges and a 111-player event on Melee.

Here are the top eight best-performing decks from the first week of the Standard Bloomburrow meta, according to Karsten: 

  • Golgari Midrange
  • Orzhov Midrange
  • Domain Ramp
  • Gruul Prowess
  • Boros Convoke
  • Azorius Control
  • Jeskai Convoke
  • Rakdos Lizards

Don’t be fooled by the Gruul Prowess name as the deck only runs a single Basic Forest land. Despite being mostly Red Aggro, it’s a powerful deck when you hit Curve and encounter minimal gameplay disruption. But it often gets overpowered by Midrange decks.
