I’ll also put a link to my article of the deck before the decklist. You can go to the article of the deck by clicking the name of the deck in the header. To keep things even more interesting, I’ll make updates to these lists along the way because new set will be released and new ways to play these decks are found. I will report every time I’ll make an update to the deck lists, so be sure to like The Deck Out on the Facebook and follow me on Twitter.
I hope you find this useful and that you’ll link this site for your friends and new players as well because I’m pretty sure there is no other site, where you can find all the metagame decks and their well-built lists with explanations of how-to-play them.
Remember, I’ll be adding new decks along the way so the The Decklist Out will develop during time to bigger and bigger library of all metagame decks. If you feel like there is something to develop in The Decklist Out or if you have any questions regarding the lists in the Decklist out, feel free to comment on my blog or e-mail me to: thedeckout@gmail.com

1 Metagame decks
In the metagame decks section you can found every deck that is considered as metagame, which I’ve written about. Metagame means decks that are widely known and played and have done fairly well at the tournaments. The metagame decks section has 2 sections:
- The hottest decks now! has the lists of the decks that are considered as the best decks in the current format.
- Metagame decks section has the lists of the rest of the decks that are currently considered as metagame and are viable for tournaments.
1.1. The hottest decks now!
The hottest decks now section covers the decks that are the most played currently and have succeeded the best in the current format.
