Followers of Kyle Sanchez' Twitter account got a sneak peek today at what he calls "the best deck in Standard." The StarCityGames.com premium columnist is well known for goofy concoctions, MS Paint "illustrations," and past competitive performances. Here's the list he's putting his faith in:

 

 

Ruel Gets Crabs!

 

4 Noble Hierarch

2 Birds of Paradise

4 Hedron Crab

4 Knight of the Reliquary

4 Ranger of Eos

 

4 Ponder

4 Treasure Hunt

4 Archive Trap

3 Path to Exile

3 Jace, the Mindsculptor 

 

4 Terramorphic Expanse

4 Misty Rainforest

2 Verdant Catacombs

2 Scalding Tarn

2 Island

4 Forest

2 Plains

3 Halimar Depths

1 Celestial Colonnade

 

Sideboard:

1 Path to Exile

4 Wall of Reverence

4 Negate

4 Kor Firewalker

2 Pithing Needle

 

Sanchez is known for hyperbole, so take any claims with a grain of salt. Still, he is a man who tests a lot of decks, so when he gets behind one with such bold claims, it's worth giving it a shot.
