White Red Green ISD Tournament Decks

This is what I call the "pack deck," and by that I mean that nearly a majority of players scoring the highest points in tournaments used WRG decks.

4 of Garruk, 4 of Huntmaster of the Falls, 1 Gisela, and 2 or 3 Sigarda

The first batch of these decks played 4 of Garruk, 4 of Huntmaster of the Falls, 1 Gisela, and 2 or 3 Sigarda.  Deck No.28 is a top-scoring deck (24 points). The Grand Total is the sum of non-land cards in a deck. Since there are 60 cards in a deck with a 15 card sideboard, 51 non-lands yield 24 lands (60+15=75=51+24). Grafdigger's Cage is a staple artifact in most of these decks: it can stop play except for the cards in each player's hands, and this can be a way to lock your opponent.


In addition to Avacyn's Pilgrim, Borderland Ranger and Scorned Villager are key cards in most of these decks. Wolfir Silverheart is also a key card: it has Soulbond with +4/+4.



Here are the Red and White cards for this batch of decks. Fiend Hunter and Restoration Angel (White) saw heavy use.


Brimstone Volley saw a lot of use in these decks.


4 of Garruk, 4 of Huntmaster of the Falls, and 1, 2 or 3 Sigarda 

In these decks Gisela was not used, and we see some use of Tree of Redemption.


4 of Garruk, 4 of Huntmaster of the Falls

These decks did not use Sigarda or Gisela. All used a complete play set of Wolfir Silverheart.



All of these decks used a full play set of Pillar of Flame.



2 or 3 of Garruk, 4 of Huntmaster of the Falls, Some or no Gisela, and Some or no Sigarda



1 or none of Garruk, 4 of Huntmaster of the Falls, Some or no Gisela, and Some or no Sigarda


Deck No. 74 is one of the higher scoring decks.
