My first foray back into Standard Magic, I'm aiming for something using the dirty, dirty Collected Company that was recently printed. Temur Ascendency allows me to keep everything running smoothly by replacing draws or even generating advantage off of Collected Company.
Bow of Nylea is the 61st card. I'm aware that this isn't optimal, but I want to see how the deck runs with it and I'm wondering if the recursion it provides on top of pinging fliers / lifegain is worth it? I know dragons are a thing now, and I've got fairly few options to interact with them save for tapping down with
Icy Blast
or a well-timed
Turn to Frog
to let them come skidding in under the heels of a Savage Knuckleblade
Every creature is a valid target for Collected Company. I was running
Yasova Dragonclaw
initally, but she's mana intensive and I'm not 100% sold on her. This deck is still very much in experimental land.
Frost Walker
and
Crystalline Nautilus
are possibly the two most ridiculous choices in this spread. I know, I know. Walker though, at 4/1 it's going to die when anything looks at it as far as removal anyways. And I've found that players are slightly less likely to waste "good" removal on something that dies to everything. Nautilus is decent on defense, and more-so fodder for drawing cards then a vital part of the ground force.
So far it's been fun to play, but the results aren't consistent (and I don't have enough games in) to really speculate on how well it's going to perform against big archetypes. I'd be perfectly happy with a solid FNM performance regularly, and that's where you folks come in, Knowing what the aim of the deck is, toss me some ideas for cards I might have missed cool interactions with or skipped over since I've been away. Thanks in advance!
