Edge of Eternities has an enchantment like this in every color, but Pain for All is the only one I think is good enough for standard.

It’s not the best “exile everything” spell that Standard has seen, but Beyond the Quiet will become a staple of any WU control deck, and will be multiple copies in that deck.

I am unhappy with the power level of Aetherdrift. Maybe I simply don’t see the inherent potency of vehicles or the “Start your engines” mechanic, but this list series is going to be different from the one I did for Foundations. Mainly because I couldn’t find five good enough Standard cards in each color.

I said in my recent Foundations article that elves were really strong—and I proved my statement. I got Mythic with a standard white-green elves list. And, since it is the holidays, I figured it only made sense to pass on the gift of a strong deck.

In most sets, most of the artifacts aren’t usually that impressive—but Foundations is different. There are quite a few good ones. Five, in fact, that I think are so good they’ll especially stand the test of time.

Foundations actually has a lot of multicolored cards—including some legendary creature reprints that I think have interesting implications for standard. But in regard to the top five cards I think will see a lot of play through Foundations’ lifetime, most of the ones I picked are low-cost, helpful cards with a strong impact on the board.

The Green Foundations Cards Have Clear Themes There’s a version of this Foundations list that is just green elf cards. The synergy and power level are fairly high there. But sometimes you don’t want to play a deck based around one creature type—and, as I outlined in the very first article of this “series,” this…

I think my bias for “Red Deck Wins” is obvious with my Foundations picks for red—but I also don’t think I’m the only one. The card list has so many low-to-the-ground little monsters who want to win games before control can do anything. It feels like the creators want the deck to always be around in standard—and, frankly, I agree with them. But which of the many aggro cards are the best?
