Tarkir: Dragonstorm is finally here, and I wanted to share what's been working for me so far—hopefully it helps you get the most out of your own drafts. At the time of writing, I've run about 10 drafts (both on MTGO and Arena), and I've already managed to hit a 7-win finish in five of them.
To help break things down, I'll be combining insights from my personal experience with data from 17lands.com, focusing specifically on Premier Draft performance. The goal? To figure out what's winning and how you can draft smarter in this evolving format.

How We Picked These Commanders
Looking for a dirt-cheap but dangerously explosive deck on MTG Arena? Say hello to 8 Wack, a classic archetype reimagined for the digital age—without a single rare. That's right. This version of 8 Wack costs almost nothing to build but can still run circles around unsuspecting opponents. It's fast, it's aggressive, and it wins games before your opponent even knows what's happening.
The Deck
At the core of the strategy is a simple philosophy: flood the board with creatures, then slam down a hasty finisher like Goblin Bushwhacker or Reckless Bushwhacker to swing in for lethal. Let's break down how it works and why it's the best cheap MTG Arena deck around.

ONE-TURN WIN! Jace Doomsday Dimir Control in Standard
Previously, I put together a deck that took full advantage of Standard's abundance of mana fixers—Golgari Obliterator. Its key card? None other than Phyrexian Obliterator, an incredibly powerful card that's often held back by its demanding quad-black mana cost.
But what if I told you there's another deck that can use a similar strategy? Enter Dimir Doomsday Control, a formidable control deck poised to take on the Standard meta's top decks.

During its debut, Phyrexian Obliterator was not a dominant force.

TODAY I will go over the key cards in the deck and uncover the main plan behind it!
Golgari Midrange Standard Deck Overview
For those who may not know, Phyrexian Obliterator is a four -mana 5/5 with a crazy ability: whenever it's dealt damage, the source controller sacrifices that many permanents.

Let's find out how.
