Pro Tour Outlaws of Thunder Junction was the debut of the set onto the big stage, but also came very close to the actual release of the set. With players having barely a week between the release of the cards and the deck submission for the Pro Tour, many players (including myself) opted to play it safe rather than try a brew with so little time to refine it.

But not all players!

Kevin Anctil and Ulysse Gagnon Paradis were the two brave souls to bring Orzhov Bronco, a deck based around OTJ card Caustic Bronco, to the Pro Tour, combining for an impressive 12-7 record in Standard.

Caustic Bronco is close enough to Dark Confidant when it comes to aggression and drawing cards, but saddling it allows for some very interesting combo energy. Putting a Shadow of Mortality on top of your deck with Insatiable Avarice is an astounding 15 damage in one shot, and both Caustic Bronco and Insatiable Avarice are both very playable by themselves as well.

Throw in a few solid cards like Steel Seraph that play well with Caustic Bronco, a secondary combo and great card in Sheoldred, the Apocalypse (you can target your opponent with Insatiable Avarice to make them draw 3 and take 9 damage), as well as all of the good Black removal and interaction, and you've got a pretty awesome Standard deck!

I look forward to seeing more of what people are working on as we've got a bit more time to work through all Outlaws of Thunder Junction and Big Score have to offer.
