Wizards of the Coast revealed the decklists for Magic: The Gathering Challenger Decks 2022, pre-constructed competitive Standard decks. These decks are scheduled to release on April 1, 2022 (see “‘Challenger Decks’“).
Each deck features a competitive Standard-constructed archetype, and comes with a 60-card deck and 15-card sideboard. Like Challenger Decks before, some of the decklists feature some desirable cards, such as Goldspan Dragon and Hullbreaker Horror. Unfortunately, the Mono White Aggro deck isn’t actually tournament legal out-of-the-box, as Faceless Haven has been banned in Standard (see “Bans Four ‘Magic: The Gathering’ Cards“).
