Post-Fate Sidisi Whip (Standard MTG Deck)

Post-Fate Sidisi Whip

Standard* BUG (Sultai) Combo

Totaledcow

Creature (24)

Land (24)

Artifact (3)

3x Whip of Erebos

Instant (5)

Sorcery (4)

This is basically the build posted in the Fates Reforged set guide for Standard on Channel Fireball, essentially. I have some potential changes before I actually play this, but generally I think the list is good and is relatively inline with what I was already planning before Fates.

I'm still not entirely sure on the sideboard, but I plan to play a Sultai Whip style deck after Fates is officially released and to partially retire my Mardu deck (hopefully with a 4-0 finish this coming week in the last Standard matchup before Fates). I'm probably going to start with a singleton sideboard until I figure out the post-Fates meta.

Edit

First time playing this in Standard and I got wrecked. It's too slow in matchups against aggro decks, too hard to get back essential combo pieces from the graveyard if you accidentally mill them out or lose them against control, and while great against midrange, has minimal answers for big creatures if you can't reliably generate chump blockers.

While I like the whip mechanic and generally think it's not a bad deck, there's a ton of aggro in the meta where I'm playing and aggro just destroys this deck. I'm just getting started, even with good ramp, around turn 5, doing my thing. By turn 5, some of the current aggroish decks in the meta can easily put me down to 10 or less health by turn 5, with 2-turn clocks to deal with things like Butcher of the Horde.

On the flip side, it seems to have a relatively decent (although difficult) matchup against Soul decks and midrange, which are both somewhat common in the meta as well. The biggest problem was running into match time, just because it wasn't fast enough once things started grinding against control/soul/mid.

Not sure how to fix, but am considering retiring in favor of a similar build that is strict B/G constellation.
