Waddup all. I'm looking to build a competitive deck for Standard. Yeah....yeah...I would love to throw in Monastery Mentor, Goblin Rabblemaster, and Soulfire Grand Master but they're expensive. If this can become a respectable deck as is, (with some budget changes) then I'll consider throwing them in later on.

The superstars in this deck are Mantis Rider and Deflecting Palm. Mantis Rider for consistent and cheap attacking by turn 3, and Deflecting Palm for some unexpected damage straight back to their dome piece. So far I have only played this in more casual formats, but it rarely ever loses.

Anyway, give it a look and let me know what you think!
