MTG’s Standard meta looks fascinating for May 2024, and the best decks are starting to stand out. When it comes to what decks are the best, that’s always going to be on a player-to-player basis. Not everyone feels comfortable piloting certain decks, or certain strategies don’t appeal to them. I based this on how frequently these decks show up in the traditional (best-of-three) meta, how they perform, and personal feelings about the decks.
However, this could change as the month goes on; if something amazing starts getting wins, we will likely return to update this. I also want to highlight that just because a deck appeared at the Pro Tour, that doesn’t always mean it’s going to start dominating the Standard meta. Those players have a grasp of mechanics and skills that casual players may lack.

When it comes to the best Standard decks in MTG right now, Esper Midrange might be one of my favorites. This particular decklist was used at the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour by Arne Huschenbeth. It’s a blend of control and strong combinations. It’s a deck that gets out of control pretty fast, thanks to cards like The Wandering Emperor, Virtue of Loyalty, and Wedding Announcement.
You can create a wealth of tokens in this MTG deck and inflate their stats turn after turn, while using instants to take down key creatures your opponent needs to win the game. Between the tokens and Raffine, Scheming Seer, you can make one of your unblocked creatures into a game-winning bomb. There are a few different ways to run this deck, but I’m a fan of Arne’s concoction and it’s one of the best Standard MTG decks right now.
