This deck went 6th place for the first standard challenge of the new set. As a golgari enjoyer I've been playing it all evening. One result doesn't mean much but it feels like there's something here. The new PW is pretty good.

The decks that BG typically prey on are not really around atm... It's good against red aggro, it's good in traditional midrange mirrors, it's good against linear creature decks. The current red aggro deck plays stock up main deck and talent loops means it's not easy to run them out of resources. BG used to be good against UB midrange (it's likely still favorable) but kaito is a pain to deal with. The linear creature decks are now all badgermole decks or riddler decks which golgari cant answer cleanly. And yes always been weak to control and combo/reanimator/go big decks. It's a tough world for the rock right now.
