Here we will show the most played cards of Theros Beyond Death in the Standard format in the last two weeks. This list was made using our Metagame page: we collected information from 5-0 decks, Playoff winners, Challenge, Star City Games and other tournaments. The job here was to process the Theros Beyond Death cards that most appeared on these winning decks; just a description of what's going on in the format.

This time we decided on a rule for the cards we are going to talk about here: the card must be in at least 10% of the decks of the format. Unlike the other articles that use a 1% threshold, the Standard is a format very impacted by new sets, so even with a 10% threshold there are still many cards to discuss. Then, below are the 18 cards that impacted Standard:

Some people say scry 1 is the same of drawing half a card, so scry 2 must be the same as drawing 1 card. Two mana for 2 cards is a good stat, making its entry to a lot of different decks:
