Wrenn and Six is a challenging PW to build, especially for standard format, due to the fact that land cards are critical for Wrenn… however with the Primeval Titan hitting the store recently, things have changed considerably. Combine that with Field of the Dead and Killer Instinct - and well… lets just say the graveyard isn’t going to be your focus.

Creatures (2):

Primeval Titan (M)
Golos, Tireless Pilgrim (M)

Supports (6):

Killer Instinct (MP)
Gateway Plaza (U)
Gemstone Caverns (MP)
Rupture Spire (U)
Field of the Dead (R)
Lotus Field (M)

Spells (2):

Nissa’s Revelation (M)
Deathsprout (U)

Once again, not a cheap deck, 2 masterpieces - and one of them is critical. Add the high number of mythic rares and yeah. Hope you have plenty of orbs handy!

Strategy focuses around loading up on lands for Field of the Dead to generate zombie tokens for Killer Instinct “fuel” (avert your eyes Liliana!). Then let the creatures from Killer Instinct load up the grid with lands, that generate even more zombie tokens, and repeat. Opponent destroying your lands? No problem; just bring them back to your hand and play 'em again!

Primeval Titan is a new card that just landed, and boy is he a doozy in land focused decks. When he shows up, you get a land for free… and when he successfully attacks too! That starts to add up in a hurry once specific lands hit the grid - especially Gateway Plaza. Golos is always a massive threat, while he does exile cards instead of putting them in the graveyard like Wrenn would prefer, creatures and supports (ie. lands) get summoned immediately from the exile pile!

The two supports that are paramount to the deck are Killer Instinct and Field of the Dead. Killer Instinct fetches the creatures and the pressure while Field of the Dead keeps the pressure on. Then, use whatever lands you have access to to round out the rotation. Rupture Spire is always a great choice for the potential cascade bonuses, while Gateway Plaza will really get the gem conversion going after a few reinforcements. Gemstone Caverns can be substituted out for another land, but the extra loyalty early can be helpful to getting that 3rd ability to fire off sooner. Lotus Field is an excellent choice due to how it interacts with the Titan and Golos… if fetched… you don’t destroy any of your lands (since this is technically summoning a/o fetching and not casting!!).

This doesn’t really leave much room for spells, but because you can replay spells later on after Wrenn’s 3rd ability is used, this can be a good thing. Deathsprout is a no-brainer to include: destroy a creature and then play a land for free. Who can say no to that with Wrenn’s focus on lands?! Nissa’s Revelation can be a big help if your either running out of cards to play or need a little life gain every now and then.
