So yes, I'm back into standard. But I am still not sure if this combo is even competitive enough. My prediction for this decks archetype is probably "Ascendancy Storm" or "4C Storm" or "4C Ascendancy" or something along those lines...


Here's exactly how the combo works:

Phase 1

This is the phase where you need to set up three key pieces: Jeskai Ascendancy and two mana dorks. With all the cantrips in the deck, this is usually pretty easy to accomplish by turn 3 or 4.

Phase 2

So here is where we are going to try to abuse this interaction. You are going to want to tap out your mana dorks for mana, cast a cantrip, draw a card and discard a card off of the Ascendancy, untap your dorks, and draw from your cantrip. Do this until you have a second Jeskai Ascendancy and enough mana to cast it. Once you do, go to Phase 3.

Phase 3

Here, we are going to cast a second Jeskai Ascendancy and then move to Phase 4 if it succeeds. If not, back to Phase 2.

Phase 4

Now we can start having some fun. Because of the buffing triggers, our mana dorks are rather large. In addition, the double trigger of untapping all our mana dorks, we can start to generate a buttload of mana. Literally. (Okay, not literally.) Once we finish with all of our drawing and mana making shenanigans, play Burning Anger on a mana dork, and, if your dork is big enough, tap the mana dork for the win. If he is at half or a third, be sure to save a cantrip in your hand to make him damage your opponent two more times.

Because of the fact that sometimes your opponent may have an answer, Swan Song is in the deck to support your win-con or prevent the death of a mana dork and should only be looted away under extreme circumstances.

Finally got the list to where I want it, and the only thing is perhaps changing the balance between Mystic Monastery vs Shivan Reef, between Twinflame vs Rattleclaw Mystic, and between Dig Through Time vs Treasure Cruise, but like I said, it's where I want it currently.

Test it out, tell me what you think, and thanks!
