We've never played Standard in our household, but now my daughter wants to go to some FNM competitions and Dad must accompany her. So here's my first stab. Not sure whether it should be "aggro" or "control"? And should it be R/U or R/U/B? I think that Dire Fleet Neckbreaker and march of the Drowned make a strong case for including Black, and I'm concerned that the control element slows it considerably. But then it seems that every other deck I look at is based around a few really BIG beasties, so maybe I should just bide my time and grab them when the hit the floor? Any feedback welcomed - I don't want to embarrass myself in front of my 14-year old!
