MTG Arena · Standard · creator meta review
The creator-decks page stores each of these videos as a single deck row with one price. Each one is a whole-format tier review. This reads the reviews back out of the captions, checks every quoted claim against the video it came from, and puts the wildcards each verdict would cost you beside it. Built 2026-08-05.
Your Arena collection as of the snapshot below, against the cards he names on camera. Copies owned are summed across every Arena printing of a card, so an older printing in your collection still counts toward the playset.
Collection snapshot 2026-08-02, 11,308 cards held, 409 creator decks in the price database, prices captured 2026-08-05.
Counts are literal phrase occurrences in each transcript. The last column is how many decks came out carrying a real judgement. A record whose only field was “best of one/three” is excluded, because that phrase is said 6 to 21 times per video as ambient framing and says nothing about the deck beside it.

on the top eight“So, the last time that we saw Ratos Fling specifically was week three of Secrets of Stricks Haven, and it will eventually do dip out of the top eight as well as more interaction is added into the meta to counteract this strategy.”▶ 00:08:32the raw caption

on the top eight“And I was curious about this archetype because MTG Joe again covered this deck where some people were taking it into the high mythic ranks relatively well, but when you're looking at a large group of people, it was struggling to perform, right? And so this week it made it into the top eight. We'll see if it's here to stay, right?”▶ 00:09:54the raw caption
And I was curious about this archetype because um MTG co MTG Joe again covered this deck uh where some people were taking it into the high mythic ranks um relatively well, but when you're looking at a large group of people, it was it was struggling to perform, right? And so this week it made it into the top eight. We'll see if it's here to stay, right? But it's basically taking the mono white life gain shell um and then adding in the black and for the bat synergies off of Zorine Malia um the lunar convocation gives you nice chump blockers.
his tier call“This is only the top eight. There are much more. You can definitely check out untapped. I think there's like 20 tier one and tier two archetypes, which are all viable to take to mythic.”▶ 00:08:55the raw caption

on the top eight“So depends on how much you're coming up against that archetype. And then Jess Artifacts is still in the top eight. Being good against the board ccentric strategies, struggling a little bit against the turn four winds.”▶ 00:04:28the raw caption

his craft verdict“So, Selesnya Orbroid has not seen any changes since week four. If I say that, it means it's a relatively safe craft, meaning it's been in the top eight for at least 2 weeks late into the format. This archetype, in case you are new, I'll go over the top performing cards, which is Badger Maul Cub, Llanowar Elves, and the Practiced Offense.”▶ 00:01:55the raw caption

his popularity rank“Selesnya or a boroid was number one for the previous 30 days prior to that. Selesnya's or a boroid is back at the number one popular spot in the tournaments and so this was the same list that we talked about in week three run by a different person in the standard challenge on July 21st.”▶ 00:01:55the raw caption

his craft verdict“Grixis Fling is also a safe craft. There's no changes from week four. There are some of these cards that are rotating like I'll talk about tomorrow, like the Slick Shot Show-Off, but until rotation in January, it looks like it's here to stay.”▶ 00:02:45the raw caption

his craft verdict“In summary, your the cards that you're looking for are top three performing cards are Foggy Swamp Visions, Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant, and then Zombify. And that dinosaur deck wasn't in the top eight since week one of Secrets of Strixhaven. So, it's kind of a risky craft, but it's been consistently in tier two.”▶ 00:04:10the raw caption

Uh Jeskai Revelation Jeskai Sorry.
his craft verdict“Jeskai Artifacts is also in tier two and has no changes from week four of Marvel Super Heroes. It's a relatively safe craft until rotation where we are losing a lot of key pieces in this archetype from Lost Caverns of Ixalan rotating out. And but right now definitely could get your rounds in if you've crafted all of them the mythics for this deck.”▶ 00:04:21the raw caption
Jeskai Artifacts uh is also in tier two and has no changes from week four of Marvel Super Heroes. It's a relatively safe craft until rotation where we are losing a lot of uh key pieces in this archetype um from Lost Caverns of Ixalan rotating out. And um but right now definitely could uh you know, get your rounds in if you've crafted all of them the mythics for this for this deck.
his craft verdict“And then the other turn four combo win in best of one right now is the teamer Kona strategy. This one has no changes since week four either and is a relatively safe craft if you prefer to not be iced by graveyard hate and instead be iced by your opponent's interaction. This one you're looking to play Kona.”▶ 00:05:51the raw caption

on the top eight“Four-Color Dinosaurs also made it into the top eight this week. This one is a turn three combo win, more consistently on turn four, I'd say, cuz you can then also use Zombify.”▶ 00:05:51the raw caption
