Meta #1: Fast Lands

This meta favors aggro. Fast lands are good on turns 1, 2, and 3, which is the sweet spot for aggro.

Fast lands are not good with cards that cost four or more. Midrange and control have more of those cards than aggro.

I would look to play aggro in this format.

Meta #2: Slow Lands

This meta favors midrange and control. Slow lands are bad on turns 1 and 2. They are great afterwards.

Midrange and control have more cards that cost three or more than aggro.

Therefore, I recommend avoiding aggro.

Meta #3: Creature Lands

You may think this helps aggro because the land can attack, but midrange and control also get a land that can block.

Having a turn one play is so important for aggro that it gets dinged in this meta.
