Looking for a new standard deck to knock out the competition? This deck is a one-two punch! Originally brewed by Magic professional and Team Lotus Box Captain Zan Syed, this deck is a two-card-combo using Shakedown Heavy and Fight Rigging to help cheat out a Tibalt, Cosmit Imposter on turn four!
The combo is very simple to put together; you play either Shakedown Heavy or Fight Rigging on turn three and the other on turn four. At the beginning of combat, you place a +1/+1 counter on Shakedown Heavy, makings its power 7, triggering the Hideaway on Fight Rigging, allowing you to play either a flipped Tibalt or Storm the Festival to overpower your opponent! Most of the time, when you attack with Shakedown Heavy your opponent will allow you to draw the card in order to escape the damage, and you can apply more pressure with strict card advantage.
Since this is a green deck, we are still running the Esika's Chariot and Wrenn and Seven power team, which can sometimes win games without seeing the combo. You can often utilize Storm the Festival to find both of them, which usually leads to a quick concession from your opponent. Fable of the Mirror-Breaker helps to smooth out the deck by ramping into your larger spells and finding the cards for your combo, and having a pseudo-Kiki-Jiki in play is always nice when you have gigantic creatures.
Overall I think this may be one of the highest performing decks in Standard right now, and many decks just don't have what it takes to fight it. This deck can easily take some Arena players all the way to Mythic, as long as the competition doesn't catch on to what you're doing. A lot of the time, your opponent won't even know what hit them - until it's too late.
