The satisfaction of ending the game before the opponent even has a chance to react is the reason why Aggro decks are always popular in any patch of MTGA. With cheap spells that you can spam at your opponent, you can keep them playing on the back foot while you cruise to another victory. The speed of these decks also allows you to progress through the leaderboards at a much faster rate.

5. White Weenie

This variation of the always well-liked White Weenie deck plays 30 different creatures. No matter how many counterspells and board wipes your opponents cast, you will always have a creature to cast. Even with its reliance on small creatures' steady damage while preparing for a large attack, this deck is still playable.

What this deck excels in:

To deliver damage to the opponent, you must rely only on your collection of creatures on the board. This is advantageous as you still have a large number of creatures you can cast, allowing you to avoid the opponent's single-target removal.
Another very cheap average mana cost deck guarantees that you have early opportunities to outplay your opponent.
The creature's power levels increase exponentially as the game progresses. In both positive and bad ways, this. It's advantageous because you can hit a power surge and ride it to victory. Bad because you might hit a wall where the damage you do won't be enough.

It also has means to cope with the opponent's early aggression thanks to its burn spells, enabling you to create a powerful attacking board against their vacant blockers.

1. Mono Blue Tempo

Mono Blue Tempo, which is essentially an aggressive control deck, makes use of the sorceries and instants in your graveyard to produce a potent attack. The more instants and sorceries you play, the more powerful the creatures in this deck become, while the amount of instants and sorceries in your graveyard allows you to cast another creature for a lower mana cost. As you increase the quantity of spells in your graveyard, you will be able to draw cards and gain an advantage on the board by blocking your opponent's spells.

What this deck excels in:

With so many counterspells in this deck, you can deal with any spell which means that your opponent can't cast spells against you. This often results in you getting miles ahead in terms of board state
This deck gives you a more powerful attack by combining the ability to create card advantage with the ability to boost your creatures
