Today we take a little break Timeless and visit a sweet Standard deck that I saw online. This one stood out as a very powerful Monastery Mentor list, and it did not disappoint. Having a bunch of ways to reanimate Monastery Mentor in Helping Hand and Recommission is great, they both also play extremely well with Halo Forager. The deck can go tall with Haughty Djinn or wide with Monastery Mentor and mid to late game you can kill out of nowehere. Picklock Prankster fuels the graveyard and draws you a card while also being a great blocker in the air. Really liked this list and it seems very strong!
Enjoy, here's the list!
