This week's Standard Challengelink outside website showed the metagame after the banning of Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath in Standard. As expected, Omnath, Locus of Creation maintained its participation in the metagame, this time there was a small drop in performance, from 60% of the metagame in the last Standard Challenge to 50% of the decklists in TOP 32.

The Competitive Constructed leaguelink outside website demonstrated a slightly healthier Standard, with 9 decklists with the potential to make 5-0.

The other version is linked to Ramp cards like Dryad of the Ilysian Grove and Lotus Cobra and has Ugin, the Spirit Dragon to clear the board:

Other options

The most viable option for those who don't want to play Omnath, is to play Dimir Rogues:

The deck has shown results, being first in the Challenge and appeared again in 5-0 lists in MTGO.

Conclusion

The scenario remains as worrying as the last Standard Challengelink outside website, will we continue to see bans?
