Womokos that can certainly work.
I took Fling out because there just wasn't space for it in my Sideboard, and I liked what other stuff was doing better in my Mainboard.
It's strictly a meta call. Mine is full of Tier 1 decks.
Be aware that this deck faces some challenges against the Tier 1 decks. It my not do amazingly well at Game Day. Once again, it depends on your local meta.

Really Nice Deck! Im not too much of standard decks, so I wanted to look for a budget one, and this look amazing! Great job! I would like to know if you played at any gameday or fnm lately, to know the overall performance of the deck, because I really want to try it out. Thanks!
May 21, 2017 1:51 a.m.
I don't usually play Game Day so I can't give you any info about that.
I've only played this at two FNMs so far.
The first one I came second, and I've written a match report about that.
In the second one I went 2-2.
I won two games 2-0 (sorry, I can't remember what decks I was playing against).
I lost 0-2 against UR Fevered Visions Control, because I hadn't practised against that deck or set up a Sideboard for it.
The other deck I lost 1-2 against was Brennan DeCandio's B/G Delirium (#1 SCG Columbus), quite frankly due to poor Sideboarding and bad play by me in the third game.
ROUROU has had success with this deck, as detailed here.
I know there are some other users who have played it, but they don't all report back.
It definitely struggles against UR Fevered Visions Control, so if your meta is full of those decks then I would go with something else.
I don't have any real world experience playing against Yuuya Wantanabe's Temur Marvel (#2 PT AKH). I've set up a Sideboard through playtesting against that deck, but it does provide this one with some challenges.
I hope all of that helps.
If you do put this deck together and play it, let me know how it goes.

Thank you very much Argeaux!
I'll try to build the deck in a coupleof weeks and I'll try it out.
I'll give my report when I test it.
Thanks again!

Yo! You misspelled Transgress the Mind under sideboard notes on Baral Control by LSV. I'm not being picky, just thought you may like to know. Lol
May 21, 2017 11:24 a.m.
hardhitta71194 thanks for the catch.
I constantly misspell that thing.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NO TRANGRESS THE MIND?

Hardhitta7 says... #9
You are correct, WotC are the ones who got it wrong!
I always misspell Ghirapur Orrery. Took me 3 tries that time. Lol
May 21, 2017 2:57 p.m.
I mean really, some of the card names are overly long and complicated.
Skysovereign, Consul Flagship?
Whoever thought that up should get a stern talking to.
May 21, 2017 3:56 p.m.
Then there's this guy: Our Market Research Shows That Players Like Really Long Card Names So We Made this Card to Have the Absolute Longest Card Name Ever Elemental
TappedOut Apparently doesn't have the card loaded but its a real card in an unset ._.

Zaueski I was trying to remember the name of that card!
And Argeaux I have to be honest, it took me longer than is reasonable to be able to spell your name correctly. Lol but I have it on lock now.... well most of the time.
May 21, 2017 7:54 p.m.
Just call me Argy.
That's my preferred name but someone on TappedOut, who has never once used the site, grabbed it.

looks good but what about a Merciless Javelineer?

Just an update. I ended up building this deck, and got stomped pretty handily by Mono-Black Zombies and Mardu-Vehicles. The games usually ended in a 1-2, I could usually take a single game, but almost always lost the series, unless they had very bad draws.
I found that I ran out of steam pretty quickly. After turn 4 or 5, I was always top-decking and hoping for what I needed, or was pretty much doomed if they were very active on their removal. If your going up against a deck with a lot of removal, you will struggle. I had quite a few bad draws as well, but I found I just could not stand up to Zombies or Mardu Vehicles. Thankfully, I did not run into any marvel decks (I really despise that deck, PT Amonkhet was very boring because of it).
I side-boarded in Insult / Injury, and that ended up winning me a couple games as long as I had Neheb, the Worthy on the field, and his ability was active. Though this did not work as well against mono-b zombies.
I was missing Transgress the Mind in my sideboard (it had not come in yet), so I am not sure how much that would have improved my chances. I will say that By Force is a must, it helped me out quite a bit, and I think I will end up adding a board-wipe, like Yahenni's Expertise to help out a bit more against and zombie floods.
I will report back again if I make any progress!
May 24, 2017 9:57 a.m.
barneystinson22 I only wanted one Creature in the 4 drop spot and prefer Ondu Champion, but you can easily substitute Merciless Javelineer.
You'd maybe want some card draw, because you will be churning through them.
Of course Zulaport Cutthroat is then not very useful, so you should take that out as well. Maybe put Painful Lesson in its place.
TheRedCzar if you go with Yahenni's Expertise you might think about Gravedigger instead of Minotaur Sureshot.
Between that and Supernatural Stamina you can save a couple of Minotaurs after you boardwipe.

This is not the deck to play if you want to beat Temur Marvel.
I've been saying that for a while.
It's not a good match up.
You know what IS a good match up?
That deck beat Temur Marvel 2-0 tonight.
Cast a Shadow is also good against it.
Temur Marvel will either Counter Harsh Mentor, destroy it, or play around it.
Not gonna slow that Control shell down very much.

I'll tell you right now, Calispotato, that they won't ban Aetherworks Marvel.
Wizards like this kind of interaction. It's very similar to Collected Company, so they knew what they were doing when they designed Aetherworks Marvel.
Marvel CAN be beaten. My partner beat it down tonight, going 2-0 with Angelic High.
I totally agree that it isn't a fun deck to play against.
Mostly due to this.

I built this deck but I built it better there is no sideboard for mine and I literally beat decks my mana curve is 3 if I get three land it's game the game day at my local shop I took 4th going into playoff I use flings and super natural stamina and magma spray

MittyLove this deck plays differently, depending on what your meta is.
I have two local metas: Casual and Competitive
This plays very well in the Casual meta. Not so well in the Competitive one.
What is your meta like?
If you don't need a Sideboard I think it's not that competitive.
I don't see your deck on TappedOut, which means there is also no match report to explain how it fared.
4th place at Game Day isn't that amazing. I would have said you built a better version of this deck if you had placed 3rd or higher.
There are these things called capital letters and full stops. If you use them it makes your writing easier to read, and in the process you seem more educated.

Just got back from my F.N.M. second place with this deck!! Well, technically i got first, but the first one, played 6 ulamogs in his deck. He is relatively new to mtg and i don't want to be a dick. He "didn't " know about the 4x rule, but either way, my two packs, had a foil full art land and a Gideon of the trials :P .
In order for this deck to perform well though, you need to know your opponent and know what cards to side in as well . This deck, imho, has some competitive potentials. ALTHOUGH, i didn't play with any zombie aggro decks, i firmly believe that i could have beaten them too! Considering to put in Sweltering Suns , but for the moment, this deck is smooth as silk .

Thanks for the match report ROUROU. Glad the deck is doing well for you.
Like you, I am considering Sweltering Suns against #1 Black Zombies.
With the new Sideboard I've set up I can take down Aetherworks Marvel decks, but Zombies are still tough.
The only problem is that I would have to remove Scarab Feast, but that thing is so great against Blue Red Control, which is played in my meta.
May 28, 2017 10:46 a.m.
3 FNMs, record is 0-8 and a bye. Maybe i'm playing it wrong... Lost to Temur Aetherworks, BG delirium, UR control, Zombies, and RW Humans. Maybe i'm playing it wrong. You don't have any videos on playing the deck do you?
May 30, 2017 2:37 a.m.
McSky23 I don't know of anyone who records themselves playing at the local level.
Are you using the new Sideboard notes, and play style, that I set up for Temur Marvel?
I have said a few times that this deck is NOT good in a Tier 1 meta. All the decks you just described are Tier 1 or Tier 1.5
This deck also may just not suit your play style.
Time to find a new one, I think.

Nice deck Argeaux , i bought the list and gonna play it at the standard gameday.
But i think about Fling , what do you think about to put 2 of them instead of 2 land ( 1 foreBoding ruins and 1 other ( but which ?) ). That's will be a nice combo against planewalker and to finish the player ( surnatural stamina + fling = huge damache to player and then creature is return tapped at the end of the turn, throne of the god pharaon damage)
thanks :)
