FNM Prep Edition · Friday, March 13, 2026
Happy FNM Friday. TMNT week one is in the rearview and the dust is settling. Here's everything you need to walk into tonight prepped — what's winning, what's cheap, and what might jump on you next week.
📊 Meta Snapshot — What's Winning Right Now
Standard
| Deck | Win Rate | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Izzet Spell Elementals | 64% | S |
| Mono Green Landfall (Midrange) | 64% | S |
| Four-Color Reanimator | ~60% | A |
| Boros Mobilize | 57% | A |
| Dimir Midrange | ~55% | A |
| Mono White Aggro | ~53% | B |
The story: TMNT didn't flip Standard upside down — it nudged it. Izzet Spellementals is the stat leader at 64% over 33k games on Arena. Mono Green is right there with it. Expect aggro players tonight to run Mono White or Boros. If you're on a midrange shell, your sweepers are underperforming right now — sweepers have been struggling to keep up with the threat density.
Pioneer
- Izzet Prowess — #1 at 21.5% meta share. The lessons engine is still the spine of the format.
- Mono Red Aggro — 15.6%, up slightly. A threat at FNM, especially game 1.
- Orzhov Monument — Down 8% to 10.9%. The deck got a little found out. Good matchup for aggro right now.
Modern
- Boros Energy — Dominant. 4 Challenge wins this week. If you're playing Modern tonight, respect the Energy mirrors.
- Affinity — Back in the conversation. Dom Harvey took down a Challenge. Crang Mastermind from TMNT is already slotting in as a real upgrade.
- Dimir Midrange — Down from last week's strong run but still a serious threat in longer games.
💸 Budget Picks — High Demand, Still Cheap
Cards doing real work in the meta that haven't fully priced in yet.
Up $2.63 this week. Gets a +1/+1 counter whenever any permanent leaves the battlefield — not just creatures. Absolute engine in sacrifice and aristocrat builds. Still underpriced relative to the work it does.
Three relevant modes that all trigger off discarding — which the Rakdos Monument deck does every turn anyway. Seeing a push in Standard right now. The kind of card that's $5 in six weeks.
Up $14 this week. Green creature decks are super popular and this is the ultimate finisher. Grull Breakout is playing it in Standard, and Commander demand keeps the floor high. Not a budget card but undervalued for what it does.
Slotting into Mono Green Landfall builds as a card draw piece. Counter synergy decks are popping right now and this gives you consistent draw at a low mana cost. Cheap enough to spec a playset.
Up 215% this week. The only graveyard hate that converts exiled cards into +1/+1 counters. Plays both offense and defense. Still in the "people are figuring it out" phase — this floor probably holds or climbs.
👀 Watch List — Price Movement Coming Next Week
Currently ~$4. The Cool But Rude (TMNT) combo is getting players excited about a potential Modern Mono Black breakout. If that deck starts topping challenges next week, Necrodominance goes to $8–10 fast. Buy before the spike confirms.
The TMNT reprint of Doubling Season is already up 249% in Europe. US market is catching up. Commander players want this card badly — the borderless TMNT treatment is genuinely gorgeous. Don't wait on this one if you need copies.
Landfall decks are leaning on her hard, and Final Fantasy crossover cards carry a collector premium that makes the floor sticky. She's moving up — the question is whether the Mono Green meta share holds next week. If it does, she climbs more. Keep an eye on this one through the weekend.
