#Deck NameKey Strategy & Why It’s Strong
1Mono Red Aggro (Mono‑Red / Red Deck Wins)A fast, aggressive deck that uses cheap creatures and burn/spell damage to win early. It dominates a large portion of the meta (~17–25 %) according to recent meta reports. (aetherhub.com)
2Izzet (Blue‑Red) Cauldron / AggroCombines red aggression with blue control/spell elements to provide flexibility: strong early aggression and viable late game. Meta share ~22–23% in recent data. (MTG Decks)
3Dimir (Blue‑Black) Midrange / AggroFocuses on efficient creatures, disruption, and card‑advantage. Rounds out the top tier with good match‑ups across the field. (MTG Decks)
4Azorius (White‑Blue) ControlSlower, controlling deck that uses counterspells, removal, and finishing threats — good against aggressive decks. Metagame representation around ~4–8%. (aetherhub.com)
54‑Color ControlUses four colors to access a wide toolset of removal, threats, and utility cards — strong in tournament results despite being more complex. (aetherhub.com)
6Orzhov (White‑Black) Aggro / MidrangeCombines efficient creatures, removal, and some life‑gain or discard mechanics; a solid meta contender with narrower share but good match‑ups. (aetherhub.com)
7Simic (Green‑Blue) Aggro / RampLeverages green creatures/ramps along with blue manipulation; strong board presence with flexibility. (MTG Decks)
8Temur (Blue‑Red‑Green) Battlecrier / AggroA hybrid aggressive deck that uses advantages from three colors to apply pressure and adapt to various match‑ups. (aetherhub.com)
9Mono‑Black (Demons / Disruption)Black‑focused deck built around efficient removal, disruption and big threats; viable especially in slower metas. (aetherhub.com)
10Mono‑Green (Stompy / Landfall)Using big green creatures and land‑synergies to overwhelm opponents; less representation but often strong in specific metas. (aetherhub.com)
11Orzhov (Sacrifice) / White‑Black SacrificeSacrifice‑engine deck with value plays, creature recursion and sometimes combo elements; niche but competitive. (MTG Decks)
12Mono White (Lifegain / Control‑Aggro Hybrid)Uses white efficient creatures, life‑gain mechanics and strong removal; can stabilize and then grind out wins. (aetherhub.com)
135‑Color / “5C” ControlAccesses all five colors to maximize flexibility and threat options; often seen as a skill‑intensive but top‑tier choice. (aetherhub.com)
14Simic Omniscience / Big‑Spell ComboDeck leveraging big spells or threats (often blue‑green) with a plan to take over late game; fewer copies but high ceiling. (MTG Decks)
15Azorius (Control) / White‑Blue VariantsVariation of control archetype focusing on white‑blue again, but with slightly different tech depending on meta; solid fallback option. (MTG Decks)
