Hello, I am a returning player, I 'quit' playing hardcore after dissensions, I still played casual with a few friends. Now I am coming back to be a hardcore T2 player and my question[s] to you is...

Which deck would be the easiest to come back with(That's in the meta atm)? Which is the cheapest that is still a win?

My choices atm are Faeries and either a 5cc or a Time Sieve deck

Now I have done a bit of research by watching youtube videos reading these forums, and many many more

Thanks in advance

Jund Aggro based decks are the most reliable and hardest to beat. The widespread use of Maelstrom Pulse makes Time Seive a bad choice...as they can wreck your draw engine, and just get damage in fast.

Also, consider Vampires, MonoRed Aggro (cheap cheap), RW Weenie (Boros), or variants of 4c Control, the link provided gives a good report on the current meta.

T2 is still new and developing... i would say a true metagame is not narrowed down yet... other then Jund and Vampires.

Without being redundant...

Jund loses to Midrange Vengeant Control

Midrange Vengeant Control loses to 4c Control

4c Control loses to Jund/Vamps/Boros/RDW

its a nice cycle...take your pick on the meta, I would go with Midrange or try to tune a Jund for the mirror
