![]() While the current builds of Golgari Midrange aren't often Golgari (instead splashing into blue for Hydroid Krasis and sideboard cards, thanks to the good mana provided by the rest of the shock lands from Ravnica Allegiance), the plan of Golgari Midrange is very similar: slowly grind out value until the opponent eventually can't keep up and eventually loses. Meanwhile, the other "finisher" of the deck is Experimental Frenzy, which can generate absurd amounts of card advantage by allowing players to chain together spell after spell from the top of their deck.ĭeadly Discovery is Golgari Midrange, a deck that was arguably the best deck in all of Standard before the release of Ravnica Allegiance. But in the late game, Mono-Red Aggro plays out much differently than White Weenie thanks to having a ton of burn spells, which allows it to close out the game without attacking. The plan here starts off similarly to the White Weenie deck: get cheap creatures onto the battlefield as quickly as possible to start getting in damage. Lightning Aggro is Mono-Red Aggro, another deck that was extremely popular and powerful in Standard just a few months ago. The basic idea of the deck is to swarm the board with cheap creatures, use Pride of Conquerors and Benalish Marshal to turn all of its small creatures into meaningful threats, and close out the game with a few huge attacks. It's very similar to the deck that LSV (and a bunch of other really good players) ran at Pro Tour Ravnica Allegiance a few months ago. United Assault is basically a Mono-White Aggro / White Weenie deck. So rather than United Assault (for example), we'll go with White Weenie, which will hopefully be less confusing and make it so you won't have to jump back and forth trying to figure out which deck we're talking about. Oh yeah, for the rest of the article, rather than referring to the 2019 Challenger Decks by their given names, we're going to call them by their archetypes. Before we get to the rankings, here are the lists along with short write-ups about where each deck comes from and what it is modeled after. So today, we're going to put the Challenger Decks through their paces and rank them based on five categories (covering value and playability) to try to figure out which is best. However, not all of the Challenger Decks are created equal. From a purely financial perspective, all of the 2019 Challenger Decks are a good buy, with more value in cards than the $30 MSRP, so in some sense, you can't really go wrong picking up any (or all) of the deck in the series. Rather than being primarily about reprinting expensive cards, the Challenger Decks are designed to give players decks that are at least Friday Night Magic–playable right out of the box and, ideally, legitimate top-tier Standard decks after a handful of upgrades. The goal of the Challenger Deck series is a bit different from that of most supplemental products. While they all have unique names, beneath everything else, the decks are essentially White Weenie, Mono-Red Aggro, Golgari Midrange, and Izzet Drakes. ![]() Finally, on Monday, Wizards gave us the deck lists. Because there are square thermal tiles on the piece, it’s believed to be from the shuttle’s belly, Ciannilli said.While we knew that the 2019 edition of the Challenger Deck series was set to release in April with an MSRP of $29.99, until this week, we had no idea which decks would show up in the series or which cards would be featured. The piece is more than 15 feet by 15 feet it's likely bigger because part of it is covered with sand. The underwater video provided “pretty clear and convincing evidence,” said Ciannilli. All seven on board were killed, including the first schoolteacher bound for space, Christa McAuliffe. NASA verified through video a few months ago that the piece was part of the shuttle that broke apart shortly after liftoff on Jan. It's one of the biggest pieces of Challenger found in the decades since the accident, according to Ciannilli, and the first remnant to be discovered since two fragments from the left wing washed ashore in 1996.ĭivers for a TV documentary first spotted the piece in March while looking for wreckage of a World War II plane. Don’t miss the premiere of The Bermuda Triangle: Into Cursed Waters on Tuesday, November 22 at 10/9C. What they uncover off the coast of Florida, outside of the Triangle, marks the first discovery of wreckage from the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger in more than 25 years.
