		<description><![CDATA[GerryT just published a RUG Pod Standard deck on his personal blog. He tested it against Red/Green (RG) Aggro and it did really well.
This is important because it looks like RG Aggro is the top deck in Standard right now. It won the first two Starcitygames Standard Opens with Avacyn Restored.
Check out GerryT&#8217;s decklist below.

46th place playing werewolves #SCGRI
&#8212; David Matthew Nunez (@MasterNunez) May 7, 2012

I&#8217;ve played Werewolves a lot so I was interested in David&#8217;s take on the deck since he did well in a high profile tournament. He placed in the money two weekends ago at the Starcitygames Standard Open in Providence.

		<description><![CDATA[Out of the top 32 decks from the Starcitygames Standard Open in Providence, I think Justin Schibanoff&#8217;s 6th place Red/White (RW) Humans deck was the most original one.
He took advantage of the mana fixing from Cavern of Souls to add red to the Humans tribe. He only added two red cards in the main deck, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend, Dustin Taylor won the first high profile Standard tournament with Avacyn Restored, the Starcitygames Standard Open in Providence. He played a fairly stock Red/Green Aggro deck.
He only added two Avacyn Restored cards, Wolfir Avenger in the main deck and Zealous Conscripts in the sideboard.
Wolfir Avenger is a great addition because the 3-drop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Smi77y from 60cards has been working on a Blue/Black Zombies deck with a couple aggressive Avacyn Restored cards.
From the new set, he added Blood Artist, Soulcage Fiend, and Killing Wave. These cards work very well together to deal 20 damage quickly to your opponent. 
I think his version is an upgrade over the old UB [...]]]></description>

Entreat the Angels looked like one of the most powerful miracle cards. Its miracle ability basically wins you the game once you have five or more mana. Control decks are designed [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been testing the decklist below and it&#8217;s been doing well. Right now, I&#8217;ve got three Avacyn Restored cards in the main deck (Restoration Angel, Zealous Conscripts, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RG Wolf Run Ramp gains a lot from Avacyn Restored because of Cavern of Souls. The deck&#8217;s biggest weakness was counterspells but Cavern shuts down those cards. Once you have the land in play, you don&#8217;t have to worry about your Titan getting countered by Mana Leak, Dissipate, or Flashfreeze.
The deck also gains a good [...]]]></description>

After a set has been in a Standard format for ten weeks, it&#8217;s hard to build a new winning deck.
