It has now been almost a week since the release of Theros Beyond Death, and the third week of the January 2020 ranked ladder season. It looks like the new expansion has added a lot of depth and variety to both new and existing Standard decks so far. We are very pleased to see the community at large liven up again and be excited to start brewing with the new cards in a fresh metagame. As a result, a lot of decks were shared so far this week from Mythic ranked players (more than ever before), and we can only hope it keeps up!

While the new Standard format obviously still remains open (and fun) until we see some early tournament results, it looks like we are starting to see the stronger deck archetypes shape up amongst all the experimental decks from day 1 many players are trying. Here are the decks we are seeing as standouts so far:

There are even more interesting ones we have not mentioned above, so in the next few days keep your eyes out here at MTG Arena Zone as we delve into these decks in more detail. The Standard Metagame Challenge event is coming to MTG Arena on January 24, and with that we plan to update our BO1 and BO3 Standard Metagame Tier List with preliminary data. Without further ado, here are the Mythic deck roundup for the first week of Theros Beyond Death Standard!

This column is our weekly roundup of Standard and Historic decks players are using to climb the ranked ladder on MTG Arena! Our goal is to curate and post a variety of deck archetypes and interesting card choices at the end of each week to help you keep up to date with the latest trends in the metagame.
