Deck Notes
Here we are again, more Rakdos hate draw using Fable of the Mirror-Breaker and Sheoldred, plus a bunch of Blood Tokens, to make your opponent ping themselves to death. It’s nice to see Standard settling into a norm, and this is a powerful deck, so it makes sense to see it at the top again. Sheoldred deserved better in the lore, but at least she’s at the top of the meta.
