Editing Mythic Championship Cleveland 2019

The release of ''[[Ravnica Allegiance]]'' resulted in major changes to the [[Standard]] [[metagame]]. The five additional [[shock land]]s meant that a wider variety of color combinations had a viable manabase, and cards such as <c>Wilderness Reclamation</c> spawned entire new archetypes, particularly with <c>Nexus of Fate</c>, resulting in a [[best-of-one]] ban of the latter. Another big hit was <c>Hydroid Krasis</c>, which became an integral part of several decks in the format, including what was previously Golgari Midrange, now Sultai Midrange due to the addition of the Krasis (and to a lesser extent <c>Hostage Taker</c> and certain sideboard cards). Other decks with success leading up to the Mythic Championship included Mono-Blue Aggro, which was strengthened by the printing of <c>Pteramander</c>; Mono-Red, which had acquired new weapons such as <c>Light up the Stage</c> and <c>Skewer the Critics</c> to become more of a burn deck than what had been the case prior to the release of ''[[Ravnica Allegiance]]''; Rakdos Midrange, which won [[Grand Prix]] Memphis in the hands of Jody Keith; Azorius Aggro, a white-based aggro deck that shifted from Boros in the previous Standard format to Azorius to make use of <c>Negate</c> and/or <c>Deputy of Detention</c>; Esper Control or Midrange; and Izzet Drakes.
