		<description><![CDATA[The flashy ability of Varolz, the Scar-Striped is giving scavenge to each creature in your graveyard. But don&#8217;t underestimate his free sacrifice ability. It protects him against many removal spells and it combos with other strong cards.
Glenn Lemalta was able to use Varolz&#8217;s sac ability to good effect in a Junk Midrange deck. Last weekend, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Historically, two mana anthem or buff enchantments like Legion&#8217;s Initiative have been pretty good in Standard. For example, Honor of the Pure from M12 was a staple in the popular Blue/White Humans deck in a past season.
However, while Honor of the Pure increases the power and toughness of all your white creatures, Legion&#8217;s Initiative has [...]]]></description>

The deck posted a top 16 and a top 25 finish in Starcitygames Standard Opens. Also, it got three top four finishes in the Spring States tournaments run by TCGplayer.

		<description><![CDATA[Most players probably think The Aristocrats is the premier Black/Red/White (B/R/W) deck in Standard. However, B/R/W Midrange actually surpassed The Aristocrats on Magic Online as the best performing B/R/W deck.
In my metagame calculations, B/R/W Midrange is ranked sixth with 4.4% metagame share while The Aristocrats is seventh with 3.6%.
There are a couple reasons why this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today on Starcitygames, Dayv Doberne pointed us to a sweet Standard rogue deck featuring Immortal Servitude. It was played by Elliot Smith at the Starcitygames Classic tournament in Pittsburgh two weekends ago. He finished second out of 168 players.
The deck is Green/White/Black (G/W/B), or Junk, and it uses a bunch of powerful two-drops to fuel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because Voice of Resurgence, Unflinching Courage, and Advent of the Wurm have become popular cards, the hyper aggro decks with Burning-Tree Emissary have lost some value. Those three green/white cards from Dragon&#8217;s Maze are pretty good against super fast decks. 
This development has opened up the metagame for Zombies. Diregraf Ghoul and Geralf&#8217;s Messenger are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bant Hexproof, or Bant Auras, is a great example of The 13% Rule of Deck Building. It got two powerful cards from Dragon&#8217;s Maze, Unflinching Courage and Voice of Resurgence, and it&#8217;s done well in the first couple of high-profile tournaments of the new Standard season.
There have been three high profile tournaments so far and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since Return to Ravnica became legal for Standard, it&#8217;s been unfortunate that two of the best token cards, Lingering Souls and Intangible Virtue, do not play that well with the Selesnya populate mechanic.
Casting Rootborn Defenses to get a 1/1 flyer is okay but it&#8217;s not that powerful. I&#8217;d much rather populate a 3/3 Centaur [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the interesting developments in these early days of Dragon&#8217;s Maze Standard is the emergence of Bant Flash and the disappearance of Blue/White/Red (U/W/R) Flash.
It seems like Flash players are moving to the version with green instead of red. Two weekends ago at the first big tournament of Dragon&#8217;s Maze, there was a Bant [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s a link to the top 25 decklists. Note that the 15th place deck was incorrectly labeled. It should be Dark Naya instead of Jund.
