The #AC13 metagame is intriguing, and with Magic Spotlight: Fracture also streaming live, it’s a huge weekend for Standard. Will Mono-Green Landfall justify its top spot, or will Superior Spider-Man prove the graveyard is the ultimate path to victory?
Arena Championship 13 runs this weekend, and the metagame breakdown is in: Mono-Green Landfall leads the way as the most-played Standard deck! Full details: magic.gg/news/arena-champion… #AC13

Yet my favorite newcomer is Dark Matter Manipulator, which enables a sweet new Rakdos deck. Shuhei Nakamura piloted this list to the Top 8.
