The rotation already loomed on the horizon. This was the eve of extinction for the Dinosaurs as well as an unwelcome dawn for the Vampires. Soon no more Nexus, or Scapeshift, or Teferi, Hero of Dominaria. But this weekend, all of them could have their day in the sun one last time. Which would prove strongest on this final weekend of old Standard? We asked some notable players for their opinion on the best decks in the format …

Paul Kuhnert, Limited champion of Cardmarket Series Paris 2018 and Power 8 member: “Mono-Red, Scapeshift, Vampires.”

Andreas Reling, quarterfinalist Grand Prix Stockholm 2016: “I don’t play a lot of Standard at the moment, but from what I’ve heard, the Kethis combo deck sounds pretty broken.”

Lukas Schwendinger, 12th at Pro Tour 25th Anniversary: “Feather and Kethis Combo both seem to have overcome Scapeshift. I would definetly go for one of those two decks currently.”
