I've been wanting to try this in Standard for awhile, but until recently the cards just haven't been there.

Our heavy lifters are Jeskai Barricade, Force Away , and Waterwhirl . These help dodge sorcery and instant removal/lockdown spells. Pearl Lake Ancient works the same way all by himself.

Arashin Cleric works well because you can cast him multiple times gaining plenty of life.

Put out a Arashin Foremost or Seeker of the Way and you'll be in business. Foremost can give the Seeker DS while it's unblockable. or be unblockable Doublestrike on its own.

Using the blink, you can blink back your good creature, play End Hostilities, then put him back out to get damage through.

Everything else is pretty self explanatory. Any suggestions are appreciated. If you like the idea, give it a +1. This will wholly survive the rotation.

Added Talent of the Telepath because if you get the spell mastery, it can proc prowess 3 times in a turn.

Put in Ojutai's Command because the price went down!
