One of the most tried and true formulas in Standard when a new set comes out is to take something already proven and add a new element to it. There's no doubt the Adventure engine from Throne of Eldraine, based around Edgewall Innkeeper and the already above rate Bonecrusher Giant and Lovestruck Beast, is one of the best in Standard. So, if you're able to improve on it, that's a great place to be.
All you need to do is add a legendary squirrel!

A few new cards can work wonders! This deck, originally built by Michael Majors early in the season and recently updated and played by Crokeyz in the MTG Arena qualifier last weekend, is the perfect example of a successful twist on a new archetype.
It was easy to see in the games how potent both Clarion Spirit and Toski, Bearer of Secrets were, especially in conjunction, as they play perfectly with the adventure shell. Every adventure card is two spells in one anyway for Clarion Spirit, while Toski gets the snowball rolling so card that your opponent can never come back into the game. And topping it off with one of the best cards in Kaldheim, Showdown of the Skalds, is just icing on the cake.
Standard has been moving extremely quickly since Kaldheim was released, but this one is a very exciting new take on the format!
