So what was missing from yesterday’s brief and subpar write up from the Ravnica Allegiance Standard Showdown season start?

Yep my subpar deck lists for the two decks that I played.

Before I present the deck lists here is my get out of jail disclaimer about these decks.

“I’m not claiming these are the best decks in the world, they certainly are not top competitive decks. They are hopefully fun, affordable (subjective I know) decks. I don’t try and keep to a target price point. I try and use as many cards in my collection as possible to keep my costs down. I’m certainly not a master deck builder claiming this deck will win tournaments, if it is fun to play and does it thing then I’ll be happy.“

And based on the weekends performances these decks are definitely not competitive.
