Player of the Year contender Martin Juza talks up his Standard deck that got him to 5-1 on Day One of Worlds that features Emeria Angel, Baneslayer Angel, Knight of the Reliquary, and a few planeswalkers.
Joel Calafell shows off his 6-0 Standard deck sitting at the top of the standings here at 2009 Worlds featuring Jace Beleren, lots of card drawing, and Archive Traps.

why is this deck running sunrise....??/
You must mean "Sunspring", not "sunrise" - and if you watch the video, he explains the selection and why it works. :)
This deck has to be one of the most boring decks to play. You just draw, pass turn, fog, draw, pass turn, fog, draw, pass turn, fog,... Don't miss understand me it is a very powerful deck for the current format. I have played against a similar deck at FNM and have lost to it twice. I hope you go far in rome. However, I hope there are some hate cards that stops this type of deck from showing up at FNM, the mirror would be agonizing.
Props on finding a deck that breaks the current format.
actually... drawing 13 cards each turn supports how quick the game would end up in his favor.
I hope people didn't miss understand my first post. I know this is a strong deck and if you are 6-0 in worlds it doesn't matter what deck you are playing every game will be full of excitement. I just wouldn't want to play or play against this deck if I am playing to enjoy the game.
lol agreed! i've yet to enter any tourney's cuz i like to let the game prolong somewhat. i just dont want to have my first time losing to a 12 year old on turn 4.. this deck is alot more sophisticated but still... its not very... "hey what do you want to do for the next couple hours? play magic?". its definately right where it belongs. kicking arse in the Worlds
Dust off those unstable footings kids.
The deck is alright but eventually your opponent is gonna draw an answer is how i see it especially after side boarding. i personally wont be playing it because of the whole draw 5 cards then fog. it lacks interactiveness with the game
"eventually your opponent is gonna draw an answer" ... Clearly not. He's 6-0.
Word.
Unstable Footing & Manabarbs absolutely wreck this deck. I know because I went undefeated locally until a Boros player used 3 of each in his sb and put them in. If I was negating or flashfreezing one spell I would get his with the other. Manabarbs + Time Warp = FAIL. A better version of the SB would include 3 celestial purges for not only Manabarbs but Ajani Vengeant which this deck also has no answer to other than flash freeze and negate.
Summary: if you can get around the SB of footing and barbs, then you might be okay.
No one plays 3 footing and 3 manabarbs in this meta.
Just wondering if the point of this deck is to try to mill/deck your oppent wouldn't it be better to use traumatize rather then Time Warp? By the time you could play Time Warp your probably drawing 5 cards a turn, or more, so taking an extra turn really wouldnt help any since your not attacking,.....or would it?
When you Time Warp drawing more cards like that, you usually find a second Time Warp, and you keep warping and adding counters to Jace until his ultimate goes off. Then all you need to do usually is hardcast 1 of the 2 Archive Traps if you haven't had a chance to catch them with a fetchland yet. Traumatize when you've already milled them a bunch from your own draw engine usually isn't the ideal mill card.
Thanks, this video helped me better understand the deck. I have encountered it a few times now and often find myself with a loss. I may build this once I see what Worldwake changes in it"
