![]() In a sign of just how hostile the once favorable matchup between Rakdos has gotten, players are leaving their Teferi’s at home and are packing more copies of Skysovereign, Consul Flagship in an attempt to bring the matchup back to near parity. One deck making such changes is Green Devotion, which towards the end of the month started moving away from its explosive Planeswalker centric combos and back to being a Midrange deck with a back door combo if needed. As I mentioned earlier, that isn’t to say the deck doesn’t have its weaknesses, and players are starting to make adjustments to combat the new threats they are presented with. However, once the deck started racking up more than double the qualifying finishes of Mono-Green – a deck that was also out pacing the third most populous deck in the format – we felt it was the right course of action to move Rakdos Midrange up to the danger zone. Of course, this was not a decision we came to lightly, being hotly debated between all of our competitive guides. The power level of both of these cards combined with the pre-existing shell has managed to earn Rakdos Midrange our first, and controversial, S+ Ranking on our weekly tier list. Rakdos Midrange was the big winner coming out of Dominaria United, picking up two big power house mythics in Liliana of The Veil and Sheoldred, The Apocalypse. ![]() I think it’s fairly safe to say that if you aren’t preparing your deck to win in one of these matchups, you’re doing yourself a great disservice. Rakdos Midrange and Green Devotion were once again the decks to beat this month as the metagame continues to revolve around them. ![]()
