Poc Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 So instead of playing BUG control, I decided to play this awful deck for standard instead. Mostly because its dirt cheap and fun to play. Creatures 4x Sylvan Caryatdid 4x Kiora's Follower 4x Rattleclaw Mystic Sorceries 4x Commune With the Gods 4x Divination 3x Krupix's Insight 1x Treasure Cruise Instants 4x Defiant Strike 1x Dig through time Enchantments 4x Jeskai Ascendency 4x Dragon Mantle 2x Stratus Walk 1x Burning Anger Lands 4x Mana Confluence 4x Shivan Reef 4x Temple of Plenty 3x Temple of Abandon 2x Temple of Mystery 3x Forest Sideboard 4x Swan Song 4x Circle of Flame 3x Erase 2x AEtherspout 1x Keranos, God of Storms 1x Duneblast (for the lolz) The deck works by playing cantrips and using Jeskai Ascendency to untap your mana dorks repeatedly. You win by either using Burning Anger or attacking. With a good hand it can go off on t4-t5. Yes, I know Thougtseize is in standard. I can't afford a good standard deck so I might as well play a fun one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 This is my updated list, I took out the divinations and dig through time, they were too slow. Redid the mana base and added in retraction helixes to keep the combo going and act as removal. I went 3-1 at my last FNM with this list, this deck is too fast for abzan midrange but got s*** on by rabble red. I might add in the refuge duals just so my mana base insn't so suicidal. Land (20) 2x Battlefield Forge 2x Forest 4x Mana Confluence 4x Shivan Reef 2x Temple of Abandon 2x Temple of Plenty 4x Yavimaya Coast Instant (6) 4x Defiant Strike 3x Retraction Helix Enchantment (11) 1x Burning Anger 4x Dragon Mantle 4x Jeskai Ascendancy 1x Stratus Walk Sorcery (9) 4x Commune with the Gods 2x Kruphix's Insight 3x Treasure Cruise Artifact (2) 2x Astral Cornucopia Creature (12) 4x Kiora's Follower 4x Rattleclaw Mystic 4x Sylvan Caryatid Sideboard (15) 2x Altar of the Brood 4x Circle of Flame 4x Erase 1x Sage of Hours 4x Swan Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I recommend magma jet for the sideboard. Kills rabblemaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 That's probably a good idea, I had sage of hours and altar of the brood in there because of control decks but no one at my LGS is playing control, I can definetly swap them out for something else.

Flame Dragon Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Have you considered moving more so into the combo? You become weaker to hate, but the raw power seems to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I just watched lsv play the deck, I'm going to switch to the altar of the brood+bribers purse win condition, it's a lot more reliable and safer than burning anger, deflecting palm is a really scary card to play against.
