Deconstructing Constructed – Conflux and its Applications for Standard

Tuesday, January 27th – Taking a break from Extended for the week while the results from Grand Prix: LA settle and the metagame adjusts, I’ll be looking at the exciting follow-up to Shards of Alara, Conflux, and its potential applications for the Standard metagame. Personally, I think this set is a big bust for any non-Standard format, but it absolutely reshapes the landscape of the current Standard metagame with a variety of hosers, unique playables, and niche cards that could power up unutilized archetypes.
