Today is Friday, which usually means best of three video, but I've been working on a really sweet deck in best of one and wanted to showcase it since I was not able to on Wednesday. It is a big mana deck that combos off with Nyxbloom Ancient, Chromatic Orrery, and Genesis Ultimatum. I am sure you will forgive me for not playing Best of Three today.
Here's the list.

This is a big mana deck that tries to get out Nyxbloom and then combo kill with Fae of Wishes grabbing Finale of Revelation for X=10+ to draw ten cards and untap five lands which is usually fifteen plus mana. From there you win by grabbing Jace and another finale with the same Fae of Wishes. You can also just win on the back of Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, or Double Vision into Genesis Ultimatum.
You can also set up lethal by wishing for Chance for Glory so you can play Nyxbloom Ancient and Chance for Glory in the same turn to get a new turn with all your mana untapped. Another loop you can do is Tamiyo, Collector of Tales and Planewide Celebration, you will just have to proliferate Tamiyo a couple of times but you can recur the Planewide Celebration every turn. This also works very well if you have a Teferi, Master of Time out as it will allow you to ultimate Teferi quickly and get a Time Stretch! It is a fun deck and if you want to have a good time playing Standard, I'd recommend it.
Enjoy, until next time!
