Standard AA deck
Deck Help forum
Posted on Feb. 14, 2017, 1:25 a.m. by ticked-off-squirrel
can anyone help me think of a good Standard format AA (anti-artifact) deck? preferably R/G/W since that is most common for artifact removal. I plan to put in From Beyond in it so I have some ground forces and extra mana if need to.
There are very few spells in standard capable of destroying artifacts effectively. Why do you want to do it?

Boza I want to try an make an AA deck for the group I play with on second Fridays and ever since Kaladesh and AEther Revolt came in to play (intentional pun) most decks I've seen are artifact heavy so I want to counter them as much as I can.

The best artifact removal in Standard right now is Release the Gremlins and Natural Obsolescence. Additionally, most artifacts played are creatures or vehicles that all die to Fatal Push.
I would say that it would be best to look up Jund Energy as an archetype. It can easily be modified to include more artifact hate and is a good deck for the meta right now.

Boza well not all vehicles and/or artifact creatures will die via Fatal Push. even if Revolt kicks in it wont be able to kill Bastion Mastodon. plus some of the artifacts are not even creatures to begin with like Consulate Turret and Dynavolt Tower. I do agree Release the Gremlins is a great artifact removal but it is not easy to get. and I don't know what Jund Energy is so I wont really make it.

Ok, let me start off from the beginning... What are the cards and/or decks that are worrying you?

Boza so far the only big threat is a black deck with three Syndicate Trafficker. and cards to make servos so they have allot of sac options.

Well, syndicate trafficker/ ravenous intruder decks are are decent, they suffer from being vulnerable to non-destroy removal. So, white for exile effects is best. So, naya control with cards like Thopter Arrest, Declaration in Stone and Radiant Flames, finishing off with big Eldrazi like World Breaker would be best.
