Need flying? Any one-drop can get you a Gryff’s Boon. If you play an Audacity, you can get an Ethereal Armor for free. Thanks to Light-Paws’ ability, whenever an aura enters the battlefield, you can tutor any aura with the same Mana Value or less that isn’t already under your control and attach it to Light-Paws. If Light-Paws lives on turn two, the game will likely end on turn 3 or 4 as you will suit up this two drop and instantly the power on board will double, triple, or more. Light-Paws by comparison is a tactical nuke. Most of the creatures in this deck are reasonable threats that have evasion or help bolster your winning chances with card draw or +1/+1 counters. I managed to top 8 a Pioneer Challenge that first weekend with Orzhov auras back when it had Lurrus as a companion.
When Kamigawa, Neon Dynasty came out, there was plenty of buzz around Light-Paws. While this is an impressive engine, it’s Light-Paws that revitalized this deck. The key is that your auras don’t even need to resolve and you’re able to fuel your hand and keep the gas coming. Whenever you cast an aura, you draw a card. Sram has been around for awhile and most players have seen what this card can do in any auras deck. Your main engines are Sram, Senior Edificer and Light-Paws, Emperor’s Voice. Much like Generous Visitor, this is more an instance of any port in a storm than an ideal two-drop. Paradise Druid is the least impressive of these two-drops, but it has hexproof when untapped, making it difficult to answer, especially when paired with Sentinel’s Eyes. While you are happy to lead on a one-drop, often you can afford to miss your one-drop if you have a two-drop that’s likely to live. These are the bread-and-butter creatures of this deck. So, what has brought this powerful deck back from the brink of extinction? Let’s dive right into one of my favorite archetypes in Pioneer in Selesnya Auras!īuy on TCGplayer $0.44 Buy on Card Kingdom $1.49 card details on MTG Meta While players are generally more aware of this deck now thanks to its RC performance and subsequent rise in popularity, it is still a great option for your local events or to play on Magic Online. Much like the Orzhov version that did quite well with Lurrus as a companion, this is a powerful Aggro deck that can leverage a few powerful two-drop creatures to end the game out of nowhere. Now that we’re a few weeks removed from the American RC, it’s clear that the deck remains a strong metagame choice that can take opponents by surprise and win the game when left to its own devices. With the ability to destroy uninteractive decks like Devotion and fight through removal-heavy decks like Rakdos and Izzet Phoenix with hexproof threats, the deck seemed like a great choice for that event. During the Regional Championship in Atlanta, Georgia, one of the decks that burst onto the scene with a top 4 performance was Selesnya Auras.
