This is a Temur Ascendancy aggro deck I've been interested in working on for a while. The plan with the deck is to be able to race mono-red and to hopefully resolve Ascendancy versus Control, which is usually game over if they don't run Perilous Vault. Feel free to adapt it however you'd like.

Edit: Changed it to use Collected Company, deck is easily tier two if not one. Green/Red Atarka is the only rough match up and everything else is even or good. The UB/Esper Dragons decks are literally an auto 2-0 unless you draw poorly and haven't played this deck enough.

Edit 2: I cut the Scouring Sands from the sideboard, I think Collected Company is enough in the mono-red match up. Got some inspiration from a popular deck on the site, so I'm also cutting the Flamewake Phoenixes for now to run two copies of Silumgar Sorcerer and cutting the third Forest for a Temple of Mystery to make the deck's mana better.

Edit 3: Behold the deck's new catchy name (ACT Aggro), and despair.

Edit 4: The name has now been shortened to ACT. Saying Aggro is a bit redundant when the C for Collected Company implies that. I think the deck is realistically 50/50 at worst versus any deck in the field in more competent hands than mine and is more like 70/30 versus UB Dragons, 80/20 against Esper Dragons (that deck is literally awful), 60/40 against GW Devotion, 60/40 against any mono-red deck, and 55/45 against RG Dragons. I now think the worst two decks to deal with for this one are Abzan Aggro (50/50 or 45/55 probably) and RG Devotion (45/55 pre-board, 55/45 post-board if on the play, otherwise 50/50). I have yet to play a single match against any type of Whip of Erebos deck, but I think 4 Stubborn Denial post board is good enough and I think Collected Company is a better card advantage engine in general (having played the Durward version of Sidisi Whip in Fate Reforged and Khans of Tarkir standards).

First Place FNM (5-0) — May 8, 2015

Edit

Though it should have been only a 4-0, there were 5 rounds for no reason so I went 5-0. I had a rough match versus Jeskai Tokens, but otherwise I pretty much wrecked every one else, including an Abzan Aggro deck and GW Devotion, my worst two match ups. My combined records now stand at 22-5 in matches and 47-23 in games with this deck.

On another note, I decided to put my winnings into packs because I didn't like anything in their case. I ended up pulling a Japanese Deathmist Raptor, so I'll be running it over the third Yasova Dragonclaw in the main deck.
