Standard: UWR vs BWG Aristocrats

From Guillaume Matignon's stream, here's a BWG Aristocrats deck curving out on the play and still having zero chance of winning:


Pretty brutal. Matignon seemed not to know his opponent's deck, but his commenters gave a pretty clear explanation:


Pas le bon! A mieux deck against aggro (as seen in Brad Nelson's wins against Zombies and Naya Aggro) but much less bien against Rea -- and apparently against blue decks.

Matignon kills a Skirsdag High Priest with the Staticaster / Restoration Angel combo, and the opponent scoops early.

Another note: Matignon's version of the deck, intriguingly titled "UWR Wafo," plays 2 Rewind, 2 Restoration Angel, and a handful of other creatures.

UPDATE: From R3 of the same tournament, here's how Junk Aristocrats can beat UWR -- double Voice of Resurgence:


Matignon lost this match. Renounce the Guilds did a lot of work for him, but Turn // Burn seemed weak against armies of tokens.
