I'll analyze the Conflict archetype in Standard over the last month to identify common card patterns.
The Conflict archetype in Standard displays a clear self-mill and graveyard value strategy. The core pattern revolves around three key engines: Multiversal Passage (71% presence) enabling color fixing and self-mill, Badgermole Cub and Llanowar Elves (44% and 42% presence) for early mana acceleration, and payoffs like Ouroboroid and Overlord of the Balemurk (both 42-44% presence) that leverage the graveyard.
The deck consistently runs Bitter Triumph as removal (42% presence) and plays a Sultai mana base with shock lands (Watery Grave, Breeding Pool) and Tezzerets verge lands. Supporting cards like Quantum Riddler, Gene Pollinator, and Requiting Hex round out the value plan. Some builds incorporate Insidious Roots or Dredger's Insight as alternative graveyard payoffs (21% each). The sideboard heavily features Duress (60% presence) for disruption, plus graveyard hate like Soul-Guide Lantern and Rest in Peace to combat mirrors.
The archetype appears quite flexible, with variants splashing white for cards like Aang, Swift Savior or incorporating tempo elements with Superior Spider-Man, but the self-mill-into-value core remains constant across all builds.

I don't have sufficient tournament data to answer this question. The Conflict archetype exists in Pauper, not Standard, and my earlier response incorrectly analyzed Standard data when there are no Standard Conflict entries in the database for the last month.
When I search for Nature's Rhythm in actual Standard tournament entries, I find zero decks running this card in any archetype during this period. If you're interested in Pauper Conflict deck composition or Standard metagame analysis for a different archetype, I'd be happy to help with that instead.
I found Marco Fabrizi in the database. He recently played in the European Legacy Open 5 tournament on January 25, 2026, piloting Dimir Tempo to a 6-3 record (finishing 16th place out of 164 players). This is his only recorded tournament entry in the system.
His Dimir Tempo list featured the typical tempo shell with Psychic Frog, Orcish Bowmasters, and disruption like Daze and Force of Will, backed by efficient threats and card selection. Marco appears to be an active Legacy player competing in major European events.

You're absolutely right! I do have Pro Tour Lorwyn Eclipsed in the database. Marco Fabrizi competed in that tournament on January 30, 2026, piloting Conflict to a 1-2 record in Standard. His list was a Sultai graveyard deck featuring 4 copies of Nature's Rhythm as a key engine piece alongside Badgermole Cub, Gene Pollinator, and Llanowar Elves for early acceleration, plus graveyard payoffs like Ouroboroid and Spider Manifestation.
The Nature's Rhythm build appears to be a variant within the Conflict archetype, leaning more heavily into creature-based synergies with mana dorks rather than the pure self-mill approach with Multiversal Passage that dominates most Conflict lists. His inclusion of Craterhoof Behemoth and Superior Spider-Man suggests a more aggressive finish plan compared to typical grindy Conflict builds.

Approximately 21% of Standard Conflict decks in the last month include Nature's Rhythm in their mainboard. Specifically, 11 out of 52 Conflict entries ran the card, typically as a 3-4 copy package (most commonly 4 copies). The Nature's Rhythm variant appears in recent high-profile events including Pro Tour Lorwyn Eclipsed (Marco Fabrizi and Adriano Moscato both ran 4 copies) and the SCG CON Portland Regional Championship.
This build represents a distinct approach within the Conflict archetype, focusing on creature-based synergies and the ability to ramp into large threats like Craterhoof Behemoth while leveraging the Harmonize mechanic to recur the spell from the graveyard. The majority of Conflict decks (79%) opt for the more controlling Multiversal Passage self-mill plan instead, suggesting Nature's Rhythm is a viable but secondary strategy within the archetype.
