Jeskai Dragons (Standard MTG Deck)

So after a bit of playtesting I want to run a one of Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker because he is one of the strongest topdecks if the game goes grindy, or I need just one extra push to finish the game. However two of him is just one too many so I'm going to run a one of Wingmate Roc and see that can push me over the edge while also running one in the board to try and win out over the abzan aggro style decks, and other midrange lists.

However I've also run into quite a few color problems as I keep testing. As well as what I am chalking up to notably bad luck and poor shuffling with my being completely mana screwed the first few games but getting a more reasonable set later on. I've noticed that other standard decks right now are running ~26 land. so This might actually be my problem as I'm at 24. My initial thought is to cut the two Silumgar's Scorn and run one more Basic lands to help with early game colors, but also cutting two of my off color fetches and running a two of Haven of the Spirit Dragon . So far I've only tested against a deck with very little removal or hand attack, but I feel like it will help with the color demands on my dragons.

As far as what doesn't work, the above mentioned Silumgar's Scorn is actually playable so I am keeping it present in my thoughts on the deck. I have also slightly considered going 4C dragons and adding some black, but that kind of deck doesn't fit what I want to do. Anticipate is more than likely going to get the axe in favor of more early game interaction. It's a nice card to play later on to guarantee myself a victory, but isn't so good early. for now Silumgar's Scorn is going to stay in instead of the Anticipate which will probably mean I can run some more removal like Firey Impulse or Wild Slash which plays better with soulfire grandmaster .

Please leave a comment with your thoughts. I'd love to hear what anyone else has to say about it, and would like to know any other cards that might fit more smoothly.
