+1 Arlinn Kord Flip
-2 Wild Slash
-1 Ambush Viper
Made a few tweaks to this deck! Temple of Abandon's gotten really inexpensive so it seemed a worthwhile upgrade to Rugged Highlands. Lightning Bolt is objectively better than Lightning Strike, and now that I have a better one-drop burn spell I swapped out Wild Slash for Temur Battle Rage to take better advantage of the high-power creatures in my deck. With this many 4+ power creatures in my deck, the Ferocious ability on Temur Battle Rage is practically guaranteed to trigger, so it's a good way to take care of chump blockers and still hit for big damage. Feed the Clan is also a good use of all the possible Ferocious triggers in this deck. Crater's Claws and Thunderous Wrath serve a similar purpose, so I'm hoping that allowing for a topdeck miracle will result in many happy moments. :)
Arlinn Kord Flip is wayyy more expensive than I'd ever pay for a single, but I got one from pre-release and it'd be really dumb to not use it here. :P
I especially like the look of Domri Rade, since Sarkhan Unbroken's ultimate would be wasted on this deck. Thanks!

It's his plus one that really makes him shine. I have never used his ultimate and probably never will. His minus two is pretty good, but it's his plus one that's epic.
Domri is always good

Hmm, good point. The more I think about it, the more Domri Rade's ultimate is what shines; his other abilities are okay, but banking on his ultimate is a lot to ask given how much can happen over the course of the turns needed to get there. With Sarkhan Unbroken, you can (comparatively) spam his lesser abilities and that can have a bigger impact. It's something to think about!

Yup I run two copies of domri and one of sarkhan. It's also very creature heavy so it helps with card advantage. Domri plus Courser of Kruphix and sarkhan can mean upwards of 4 cards per turn (draw your card, play a land from courser, plus one domri to draw a creature, plus one sarkhan to draw a card)
It does take some effort for all that to happen and there s indeed a lot that can happen detween that time frame. But that's magic to be honest lol so it just comes with the territory but it's ultimately your call to wether or not they help your game plan.

It might be a good idea to think about putting together a sideboard. I'm not sure if you play in situations where that is really relevant, but if you took it to a shop, or even just started playing with friends and decided to do matches it would be good to have.

I just noticed that Ghor-Clan Rampager's bloodrush ability requires discarding it, not sacrificing it. I've never used Bloodrush before so I'll have to see how this works out in practice.

Most of the time that's what people use him for is combat tricks or the option to have an extra creature, that's what makes it a decent card.
So instead of having to pick one or the other, you get the option of both.

I've always wanted to see a Temur Aggro deck in modern. This is perfect! +1 from me!

Brings back memories <3 Good job sir, but your deck is filled of cards who are slow for modern. You could play : Flinthoof Boar Experiment One Vines of Vastwood Mutagenic Growth. You could also toss a copy of Birds of Paradise if the money falls from the trees :3 Have a good day ! :)

Domri Rade and Sarkhan Unbroken would be good in this.
