This deck aims for turn 3 Xenagos and to be able to deal with counters and combo decks.

---

Quick Ramp

Ancient Tomb , Crystal Vein , Mana Vault , Tinder Wall , Joraga Treespeaker , Orcish Lumberjack and Mana Vault help to achieve this but most the time expect Xenagos to be out one turn early.

We also have Treasure Map  , Talisman of Impulse , Nature's Lore and Kodam's Reach to smooth out our lands and lower the chance of drawing a land.

---

Counter Protection

Pyroblast , Autumn's Veil , Savage Summoning , Reverberate , Prowling Serpopard and Spellbreaker Behemoth to help us stay clear of counters getting in the way.

---

Tutors

For tutoring we use Living Wish to find our silver bullets it's why sideboard is needed for this deck, along side Summoner's Pact , Gamble , Signal the Clans and Primal Command we can always find the creature we need at the time.

---

Card Advantage

Skullclamp , Mirri's Guile , Faithless Looting , Sylvan Library , Treasure Map  , Elemental Bond , Selvala, Heart of the Wilds , Hunter's Insight , Beast Whisperer , Harmonize , Sunbird's Invocation , Regal Behemoth and Zendikar Resurgent .

---

Interaction

Chaos Warp , Beast Within and Primal Command are our flexible removal.

Vandalblast , Nature's Claim , Unravel the Aether and Reclamation Sage help us take care of pesky artifacts and enchantments.

Berserk can attack as a finisher as well as creature based removal along with Cyclops Gladiator and Balefire Dragon .

---

Finishers

Malignus , Kalonian Hydra , Putrefax , Chandra's Ignition and Ghalta, Primal Hunger are our main finishers although Berserk can make almost any other creature into one.

---

Board Wipes & Insurance

Yavimaya Hollow and Heroic Intervention help us stay alive from removal and board wipes with Regrowth , Eternal Witness and Seasons Past helping us to recover when it occurs.

This deck has only three board wipes Chandra's Ignition , Balefire Dragon and Blasphemous Act .

---

Living Wish Sideboard Reasoning

Caustic Caterpillar artifact or enhancement removal on a stick for the early game.

Dire Fleet Daredevil mostly for playing with blue mages but can be useful otherwise.

Dualcaster Mage for playing against blue mages, is very meta dependent.

Combat Celebrant a extra combat step can lead to a win.

Archetype of Aggression for when you don't have Nylea, God of the Hunt and need trample.

Zealous Conscripts sometimes someone has something you could always use better.

Acidic Slime just like Caustic Caterpillar but leaves a body and can remove troublesome lands.

Temur Sabertooth helps to protect us from a board wipe.

Moltensteel Dragon can help to end the game at the cost of life.

Platinum Angel help us stay alive vs combo decks.
