Mono-Red Aggro is one of the most persistent decks in Magic: The Gathering’s Standard format.
Of course, it’s also possible that we hit one of our removal spells when casting Geological Appraiser.
Keep this in mind when you go to sideboarding.
A plethora of options is partly what makes Rakdos Discover such a powerful deck.
However, these same options also provide a big decision tree that makes it easier to misplay your cards.
The Cruelty of Gix
In the best of circumstances, this card provides a three-for-one trade.

That’s a difficult amount of value for any opponent to overcome.
If you’re ever in doubt, that’s a good default choice.
You’ll get the most value out of this saga when playing against control decks.

In these matchups, don’t be afraid to take your time with The Cruelty of Gix.
You almost always want to be swinging in with this creature so that you trigger its effect every turn.
After all, the effects this card has are the entire reason we’re playing it.
Geological Appraiser by Alix Branwyn
Here are the top decks to play right now in Magic: The Gathering’s premier format, Standard.
If your opponent isn’t playing too many creatures, don’t worry about holding onto your blood tokens.
In grindy matchups, you may still want to save them for later to discard lands though.
Then, the coast is clear for our preachers to generate value turn after turn.
In short, this creature usually trades for a removal spell, and that’s exactly what we want.
This is usually the case against opponents playing white.
And that’s Magic the way Richard Garfield intended.
Magic: The Gathering’s ever-changing Standard will say goodbye to four classic sets in 2024.
