I’m not sold on Bryan’s Golos List. We all know Nissa is bonkers and super strong, I’d shave down 1 off each of his four ofs to make room for 3 Nissa.

Besides that I like Esper Dance better.

Nissa seems a little less bonkers in a deck with six total forests.

That feed cats into the oven deck is so loving fun. Abusing blockers getting sacked to avoid lifelinkers gaining anything is the most wonderful galaxy brain poo poo.

I ran into my first self-mill deck. I was going very cautiously because I had no idea what the hell was going to happen, but I ended up just punching him in the face till he died while he hosed around on his own weird gameplan that didn't really involve me in any way.

so far i have yet to lose a game to oko, but that's basically just luck on my part

did win one by robber-of-the-riching him off an opposing deck, though

turn two, robber, attack, exile oko; the opponent mouses over the robber, mouses over his exileyard, and presumably gives a long sigh, before deciding to play it out

What does Golos do in that bant ramp deck other than tutor for field of the dead? You activate him and you get... a growth spiral and a land and a once upon a time?. Needs something like that dude that steals permanents or something that costs more than 4.

I'm running a Sultai Oko list but it's not as performant against wide aggro or midrange decks as I'd like it to be. It does well when you can get your Woodland Champion(s) out early and keep them alive so that making an enemy creature a 3/3 is a downgrade for them.

I feel like my Sultai Yarok Deck is certainly still a T2 deck but yeah Golos definitely feels like it can just go over the top of evertyhing else in the format. It it makes it to it's 7th land drop your probably not gonna grind it out.

My last game in the play anything standard was Hoogland's Yarok Field deck with -2 cavalier -1 yarok +3 golos. Man, getting a golos double activation from yarok is almost scapeshift in terms of explosiveness. Don't know how good the deck actually is but fun as hell.

HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
I tried a bunch of the decks in the any deck queue.

Flash - insanely strong, BB changes the deck in a very unfair way. Imo the weakest card in the deck is probably spectral sailor especially with the castle as a mana dump, I'm srsly tempted to try out geese instead.

Wolves - nice deck but I lost to a fires deck and i think I'm going to see a lot of those. If they can go over the top of your wicked wolf it's game over. Still not a bad deck at all.

RB aggro - no real surprises here. Rankle and robber are both a little disappointing but they're so fun and the bodies are so close to good enough that I'd probably run them anyways.

Bant Golos field - Very strong, we all know this one though.

Crokeyz jund adventures - Surprisingly decent. The tempo still seems too low turns 1-3 outside of nut draws but it can hold its own vs a lot and has a real draw engine.

Bant oko ramp - I wasnt very impressed but maybe I drew bad. This deck has the greatest density of OP cards but it just feels off.

Fires - even my terrible version seemed good. Gets stuffed by flash though.

Esper dance - It plays itself, it's miserable, 4 mana wraths are still a mistake, what else do you need to know? opponent conceded the mirror but I'm sure this deck is strong, it's four kaya's wraths + four oath of kayas + four teferis.

I havent tried mono black, the three decks that impressed me the most were flash, fires, and golos fields. I didnt queue into anything aggressive so its not surprising flash seemed so strong.
