Jump In!

 

Arena is currently running a "Jump In!" event, and it's great. The concept is similar to Jumpstart- each time you join the event, you get to pick two 20-card themed decks, which you shuffle to make your 40-card event deck. But this time, the themes are based on current cards in Standard, making this a great way to explore the new metagame. The event entry cost (1000 coins) is low and the win condition is easy (one win with your deck nets you a free card), so I participated six times. Here were my decks, with colors in brackets:
