The top decks in major tournaments from around
the world are listed below. These 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 to massive creature swarms,
graveyard manipulation, and strong board control. The environment so far
has proven to be wide open, with no deck dominating. Senor Stompy, CounterPost,
and "4CB" decks should be all the rage, while the dependable "Deadguy" Sligh,
MaroGeddon and NecroDecks will remain consistent and viable. I'm
still looking for strong deck archetypes, so if you have a deck listing you're
willing to share of a strong tourney winning deck, please send it in. Apprentice
