Hey @PDeS14, Mardu is a reasonable meta call right now, specifically in the form of Mardu Discard, the main Mardu archetype in Standard. Here is what the data shows over the last 30 days:
Mardu Discard sits at 4.84% meta presence, making it a mid-tier archetype, and it is posting a solid 53.5% winrate excluding mirrors (83-72 in matches). That is above-average performance compared to most of the field. Looking at weekly trends, the deck spiked hard in the week of Aug 10-16 at 7% presence and has stayed relevant since, with the most recent week (Aug 31 - Sep 6) showing 21 entries and a 55.9% winrate. The core of the deck leans on Bloodghast, Moonshadow, Marauding Mako, and Cool But Rude as key discard payoffs.
The format is currently dominated by Mono Green Landfall (16.7% presence, 54.5% winrate) and Izzet Spellementals (11.2%, 56% winrate), both of which are performing at a higher level. Mardu Discard is not the single best deck in the format, but it is putting up winning numbers and is not over-represented, meaning opponents may be less prepared for it. If you are comfortable with the archetype, the data supports it as a legitimate choice.
