The top decks in the U.S. (and some German)
Regionals are listed below. These thirteen decks are the decks to either
play, or be prepared for... because you will be playing against them. To
be competitive it is extremely important to have the answer (either main
deck or sideboard) to the 5 Color Green Deck, MonoBlue, and possibly Sligh
or Stasis decks. Blue, Red and Green are the winning colors, in that
order. Also, have some defense against Winter Orbs. They have become extremely
popular, with the 5CG deck and Forgotten Orb deck being based around them.
Other than these considerations, the field is very diverse, with no deck
dominating the way the NecroDeck did a year ago, and a deck for every play-style.
