UPDATED MARCH/2022

UR Aggro is a popular tempo strategy in Legacy. Depending on the list used, it may be known as UR Delver

Overview

The strategy is centered around easy-to-cast strong creatures in conjunction with easy-to-cast effective spells.

Popular creatures for the deck include: Brazen Borrower, Delver of Secrets, Dragon's Rage Channeler, and Murktide Regent.

Examples of effective spells mentioned previously are Ponder, Brainstorm, and Lightning Bolt.

The deck is known for being strong and having the means to deal with most decks it faces.

Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer was banned in Legacy mostly due to this deck. Even with the ban, the deck held a lot of power and some players even considered the archetype UR Aggro itself to be an issue. As of March/2022, the deck represented 19% of competitive Legacy decks in MTGTop8 and 15% of competitive Legacy decks in Hareruya.

The archetype can run Steam Vents in place of Volcanic Island. This was proven to be true once some lists began to mix old duals with shocklands because of a Mountain-Island land was more important in the early game than the 2 life being paid for it.
