What to craft next in MTG Arena, Mardu colors (white, black, red)

Standard format, June 2026. This page reads your live Magic: The Gathering Arena collection and ranks every card you might want to make using a Wildcard. The cards that show up in the most decks rise to the top.

Your current resources

Pulled live from Untapped.gg. "Rare WC" and "Mythic WC" are the only numbers that limit what you can craft today. Vault Progress is a counter that, when it hits 100%, hands you 3 uncommon, 2 rare, and 1 mythic wildcard. Only duplicate commons and uncommons feed it; duplicate rares and mythics do not.

Filter and sort the table

The table below has 76 rows. Hide lands shows only spells. Hide already at 4-of shows only cards you still need (a "playset" is 4 copies because that's the deck-building limit). Hide rotating in early 2027 drops cards from the sets leaving Standard at the next rotation. Correction, 2026-07-18: Standard has NO rotation during 2026. Wizards moved rotation to the first release of each calendar year starting in 2027, so Wilds of Eldraine (WOE) and The Lost Caverns of Ixalan (LCI) stay Standard legal through 2026 and rotate in early 2027, not this fall. An earlier version of this page hid those cards as rotating and would have talked you out of crafting cards that are legal for months yet. All three filters start ON; click a lit button to turn it off. For sorting, use the Wildcards needed and Deck count buttons, or click any column header. (Win rate is a per-deck number, not a per-card one, so its sort lives down in the 25-deck section below.)

The craft ranking (76 candidates)

How to read each column. Rank is the sort position. Card is the card name (bold = you don't own a playset yet). CI is "color identity", which colors the card uses; "C" means colorless (any deck can use it). Rarity tells you which wildcard pile to spend from. Set is the 3-letter code of the expansion the card is in. Type is creature, artifact, land, etc. MV is mana value (what it costs to play). Owned is how many copies you currently have on Arena. WC to 4-of is how many wildcards it would cost to finish a playset. Decks that can play it is the headline number: if you craft this card, how many of the 25 popular decks actually run it, a real count from 1 to 25 pulled from Untapped decklists (not color legality). Quantity does not matter, one copy or four, the question is only whether each deck plays the card. A higher number means crafting it helps more of your decks, so each wildcard does more work. Cards at 0 are ones no current Mardu-color deck plays.

The 25 decks the ranking uses for scoring

"Mardu" is a shorthand for "white, black, and red, in any combination", a three-color slice of Magic's five colors. The grid below is every deck in that slice currently being played on Arena, pulled live from Untapped.gg over the last 30 days. Mythic-tier winrate is the percentage of games the deck wins when played by mythic-ranked players. Decks in red text have a winrate above 55% with at least 100 sampled matches. Mardu Discard at 60.1% winrate is the strongest Mardu-color deck in the format right now. The card-ranking above counts how many of these 25 decks can legally include each card.

Cards Wizards just banned (and what that means for you)

When Wizards of the Coast bans a card, it can no longer be played in Standard. Several big cards were banned recently. You own four copies of each of these (a playset), which means those wildcards are now "dead", you spent them on cards you can no longer use. Nothing to do about it except note it. The good news is that the bans removed the strongest red-based aggressive decks, so the Mardu colors (white/black/red without the banned red engine) just got more space in the format. The Untapped tier list now has Mardu Discard, Orzhov Skeletons, Rakdos Fling, Boros Burn, and Boros Auras all over 55% winrate, which is why this dashboard is worth building right now.

Creator decks culled from YouTube (133)

Every Standard deck video harvested from 13 tracked creators, carried over from the creator-decks cull. Each row keeps its video link, its decklist host, and, where the list was actually fetchable, the real paper price and the wildcards Arena would charge you after subtracting what you already own. 23 of 133 decks are castable in your white/black/red colors, and of those only 1 is an actual three-color Mardu deck. The rest are smaller slices of the same colors: 1 Mardu W/B/R, 3 Orzhov W/B, 5 Boros W/R, 3 Rakdos B/R, 3 Mono-White, 3 Mono-Black, 5 Mono-Red. The cheapest one with a real list is These New Cards Work So Well in Mono White Enchantments | Standard BO1 MTGA Gameplay #mtgarena (Mono-White) by AbojiiMTG at $93.06 paper and 14 rare-plus-mythic wildcards.
