Gauntlet

“A group of decks that are expected in a metagame, or top decks to playtest against.” — MTGSalvation definition of Gauntlet

This is the first of a series where I provide an all-in-one download containing decks in Vintage, Legacy, Modern, Pauper, and Standard, for use with the XMage client.

The idea is to give a nice, clean download which users of XMage can grab and immediately use to expand deck options and increase the fun/value of the software.

At the moment the word “gauntlet” may be a bit of an exaggeration, but, as you can see from the decklists (below), it’s a solid start.

Over time the package will grow in size and once I’ve nailed down all the format archetypes I will be able to focus on maintaining the lists, keeping up with the fast-moving world of Standard, introducing topical rogue decks, and expanding scope to Commander, Tiny Leaders, and Historic Standard. That’s the intention anyway – it may take a while.

Instructions

1. Click the above image to download the .zip file.

2. Extract it anywhere you like.

3. In XMage find where you put the files and open the decks.

4. Enjoy a bunch of cool new decks to use!

Covering even 50% of the decks in a format in the first release would take more time than I currently have for this but I felt I just had to make a start and have faith I’ll get there, even if for now your favourite deck may be missing (sorry if so!).
