Sideboard


Maybeboard


I like decks which smash things, Timmy-style.

Dragons of Tarkir is one of the most Timmy sets ever. This means there really is an opportunity for big stompy things to shine. Gruul was big in the last Standard realm, and I hope R/U/G, Temur-style decks are going to be viable in the meta.

SOOOO let's break it down.

Elvish Mystic and Sylvan Caryatid are there for ramp in conjunction with Courser of Kruphix

These cards allow me to play defense against aggro decks and ramp quickly. Cards like Stormbreath Dragon and Polukranos, World Eater come in early and trigger Temur Ascendancy for dat sweeeeet card draw. Every four-mana or higher card I am dropping triggers ascendancy for card draw. Even that sweet dragon from Sarkhan Unbroken gets a card draw.

Let's also not forget some new toys like Savage Knuckleblade which I can use late-game to continually force back into my hand then play it on my next turn for more card advantage.

The sideboard cards are designed for current aggro decks such as rabble red and control decks, like Shamanic Revelation to get back some life from burn decks (stupid Jeskai) and Xenagos, the Reveler to make short work out of control decks. Anger of the Gods = I hate you Mantis Rider and Goblin Rabblemaster

Let me know what you think. I am trying to refine this to make it the best it can be. +1's and feedback are always appreciated!

Removed Kiora, she wasn't doing what I needed from her. Put some other things in her place, namely a Nissa and some crater's claws. Those cards are pretty beastly and can act as an alternate win-con later in the game. Additionally, they can act as removal for other ramp (I did crater claw an Elvish Mystic turn 2) or pesky cards such as Butcher of the Horde.
