This is a deck I have and enjoy using, but often have trouble keeping a hold of my monsters as they're often the priority targets when I play multilayer. It's based around having big scary monsters and buffing them up to make them scarier. And with the Formidable mechanic from Dragons of Takir, I now get bonuses for having such powerful creatures and often the formidable ability will trigger from controlling just two creatures.

Creatures such as Skarrg Guildmage, Goblin Diplomats and Tajuru Preserver act as low costing creatures to put on the battlefield early while still providing benefits for my larger creatures when they do arrive.

Circle of Elders , Zhur-Taa Druid, Atarka Monument , and Gruul Cluestone allow me to get my big creatures a little earlier.

The bloodrush mechanic from gatecrash lets me have a choice whether to cast it as a powerful creature or to discard it and buff up a creature I already have.

Noble Quarry forces all creatures to block whichever creature I decide to enchant (or itself if I decide to use it as a decoy while my bigger creatures break through), which can then be buffed up with spells like Temur Battle Rage, Ghor-Clan Rampager and Rubblehulk

As always, I choose variety over the chance for better synergy. I enjoy varied games, and I enjoy my decks to have a little flexibility. I would still love to hear what you would do to improve or make this deck better. Feedback is always appreciated, as is criticism. Cards in the sideboard are cards I own but haven't put into the deck. If there are any cards there you feel should replace another card, Please let me know.
