Standard Deck Tech - Mardu Avatar - MTG Arena

Welcome all to my weekly MTG Arena Video series! Each Monday and Friday I’ll have a new video ready to watch!

I'm back today for some more Standard action with a different twist on a sacrifice deck with Mardu Avatar. The goal of this deck is to get some small creatures on the battlefield as quickly as you can. We've got Serrated Scorpion, Whisper Squad, and Eyetwitch (which also grabs us some Lessons). All these little creatures are just food for the flip side of Extus, Oriq Overlord: Awaken the Blood Avatar. For the cheap, we can get a 3/6 haste Avatar creature that bolts out opponents on attack. We also have ways to find our Awaken the Blood Avatar in Showdown of the Skalds and the criminally underrated Plumb the Forbidden. Plumb lets us essentially draw a whole new hand with the help of our small creatures, and if we have a Bastion of Remembrance out, it actually helps kill our opponent!
