Adriana thinks everyone else at the table is a revolutionary and is gonna cleave through them all.

This deck is a work in progress and in need of suggestions and critique. I built this based on cards I already had in my collection, and am trying to figure out which cards I would like to buy to add in. If I ignore or remove a suggestion, it is because I cannot afford it or do not think I can feasibly get it, not because I dislike that card or your help. Thank you for talking the time to read this and if you leave a suggestion, I will get to it as soon as possible.

The various categories here are used to keep track of the kinds of cards in this deck.

Equipment is for all the equipment in this deck. Equipping Adriana with either Dragon Throne of Tarkir or Sword of the Paruns would be fantastic, but any large creature would do. Fireshrieker is also good on a large attacker, especially if they have trample.

Mana Ramp is for each card used to accelerate the deck's mana base. Things like Signets and other mana rocks would go here.

Other is for all the cards that do not fit in with the following sections. They include things like board wipes, removal, and odd-one-out cards. Commune with Lava gives us some extra card draw, Revoke Existence is for pesky God cards, Seer's Sundial is for some extra drawing if needing, Vandalblast is when I really need to wipe out artifacts from play, and End Hostilities+Kirtar's Warth are to wipe the field clean if necessary. Martial Coup can also wipe the field, but 7 CMC for a board wipe and 5 Soldier tokens is not usually the best option.

Burn is for all the cards that deal direct damage. Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh   can easily flip if she is given haste with Lightning Greaves, then a Lightning Bolt will untap her to give you a Chandra, Flame Caller. Comet Storm is the bigger brother of Fireball and can really help knock out some creatures you're having trouble with. Firemane Avenger is like Lightning Helix but on a creature, and triggered on Battalion (which should be relatively easily). Leyline of Lightning can deal damage over time, but you're really hoping to play it before the first turn. Skysovereign, Consul Flagship is an amazing card for any burn deck and is included as an extra way to deal more damage.

Anthem is for cards that provide keywords or bonuses to power and toughness that require nothing except these cards remaining on the battlefield. Angelic Skirmisher and Brave the Sands both can give Vigilance, and if you have both, Skirmisher can give either First Strike or Lifelink. Berserkers' Onslaught gives Doublestrike, increasing your Melee benefits to ridiculous levels. Curse of Stalked Prey and Gleam of Battle give benefits to your creatures when they attack, and the Curse can be a political move against a deck that you know will prove difficult to deal with yourself. Gratuitous Violence will make everything a little crazy, but since your creatures get Melee it should be much easier to abuse the double-damage your creatures are dealing. Paragon of Fierce Defiance and Phantom General both offer some more buffing of stats, but somewhat selective.

Creatures is the category for any creature that does not belong to another category. Each has a bit of upside, but mainly they are there to cover what I'm missing in other categories.

Combat Tricks is where all the, well, tricks go that I'd like to use during combat or at instant speed to disrupt my opponents. Arcbond can turn a favorable block into an unfavorable one, or even wipe the board with damage if I am trying to recover (and Hundred-Handed One makes this card extra funny).The rest are pretty standard, although Ride Down is a great card in general.

Token Creation gives us all the tokens we need for our deck. Generally, give Akroan Horse to the player at the table you're least concerned about or has the hardest time dealing with you. You'll want them to stay in the game as long as possible. Rite of the Raging Storm is interesting, and lets you give your opponents some ammo to attack each other. Heliod, God of the Sun is interesting and helps give your creatures a lot of tools. The other token generators explain themselves.
