In this article, we explore the first breakout Ikoria decks in MTG Arena. These decks have had a good win rate or won events since the release of Ikoria on MTGA. As always all of these decklists are from our MTGA Assistant extension which collects decks the top decks of the metagame. Even though the top-performing decks are still ye old THB decks, we look at the new meta decks with cards from Ikoria.

Contribute to the metagame by installing MTGA Assistant. We also have a reward for the top mythic players in April, still time to join!

Standard Best of 1 decklists

Are you a spike playing the latest and greatest? Check out our free Community Tournament this Friday!

At the top of BO1 Standard, you will still find Mono-red, Rakdos and Mono-white decks, but we have some really interesting decks with Ikoria. Take a look at these two Kaheera, the Orphanguard companion decks! Two different variations with the same midrange idea.

Five-color Fires of Invention is still rocking it in BO1 and now with a wincon in Genesis Ultimatum . In BO1 chances are the game is over even before you reach that amount of mana as there are a lot of aggro decks here. But for mirror matches against control this just outright wins the game with value.

Another companion deck! This time it is Keruga, the Macrosage . The main challenge here is staying alive taking the hits until turn three when you can start playing your deck. Being on the draw with this deck will be quite harsh, but if you can survive to turn 4-5 chances are high the win is yours.

A lot of Rakdos decks out there and they play mostly as before, but we decided to highlight this one which not only use Call of the Death-Dweller which you can find in other Rakdos decks, but also Serrated Scorpion

Standard Best of 3 decklists

Over at BO3 there is more variety and this is the format you want to play at Platinum rank and higher to progress through ranks, you can read more about the topic here. The top three decks are Mono-red, Bant Midrange and Rakdos aggro. As with the Best of 1 format let us start with looking at some companion decks that have done well! Gyruda, Doom od Depths has two main variations that has seen good results:

Dimir Flash has posted great results too, Cunning Nightbonder and Slitherwisp are doing wonders.

Mono-blue is a favorite of mine, I love playing Historic with the budget mono-blue deck and I will for sure check this new Standard deck out.

Azorius Control with Dream Trawler has been a staple for a while, now with more sharks.
