So this is the deck I went 4-0 at FNM a couple days ago. I haven't played standard in a couple years, so it's not all about me, this deck just dominates. I only lost one game all night and that was the only game I didn't draw lands.

It's all about Haste. The Channeler Initiate turn 2 then turn 3 Crocodile of the Crossing is so strong, I was wishing I had more crocs in the deck. Then turn 4 Glorybringer and gg.

Bloodrage Brawler discarding the honored hydra on turn two is great. Come in with the Honored Hydra on turn 4.

I was worried about the energy maybe not being enough to keep the Lathnu Hellion around. But hitting with it for only 2 turns was still good enough to win every time. If they have no blockers play hellion first. If they have blockers, play Khenra Charioteer first to make sure you're getting damage through when you do play him.

I saw a lot of Walking Ballista, so the Combat Celebrant didn't do much for me. I might replace him.

I'm really wanting to add a Rhonas the Indomitable, I just don't have one yet. And I think there should be another Glorybringer, Harnessed Lightning, Crocodile of the Crossing and Insult / Injury.
