Introduction

So yesterday I traded for a card that I was pretty excited for when spoiled and it was Majestic Myriarch. So the way I went about this deck was I took green as a base color and then reviewed all the other colors and what keywords I would gain from them. White had Double Strike, Vigilance, Indestructible and Lifelink. Black had Deathtouch and Menace. Blue had Flying. I then got to red and was absolutely certain I'd play it because it had the following keywords: Haste, Menace, First Strike, Double Strike and Flying. I was also able to fit in some lifelink thanks to my good friend Aethersphere Harvester. Another plus side for the deck is it is completely rotationproof for Ixalan, except for Game Trail and Odric, Lunarch Marshal.

Choices

Narnam Renegade is awesome because of deathtouch. Aether Chaser is in there for the first strike. Speedway Fanatic is in their for haste and also hasting up my Aethersphere Harvester on turn 3. Ramunap Hydra is an absolute bomb because of the Vigilance, Trample and Reach. Servant of the Conduit is there for a little bit of ramp. Majestic Myriarch is the namesake of the deck. We don't rely on double strike but occasionaly it is nice so as a 1 of I'm running Samut, the Tested. Blossoming Defense is there to protect some of the more important keyword providers, such as Ramunap Hydra. Life Goes On is a fantastic card in my opinion because if the opponent nukes my board then on end step I can gain 8 life from it. Cathartic Reunion is to get Ramunap Ruins into my graveyard to pump my Ramunap Hydra. Finally, Aethersphere Harvester is there for flying and Lifelink.

Sideboard options

So if I'm against a go wide deck I wanna sideboard in Sweltering Suns. If I'm against a black deck they will wanna side in Lost Legacy for Majestic Myriarch so I side it out and instead side in Odric, Lunarch Marshal. If i'm against Blue Red Control I wanna sideboard in Abrade to get rid of Torrential Gearhulk. For going against any deck with Gearhulk's I'll be playing Honored Hydra because I can discard it to Cathartic Reunion on turn 2 and have a turn 4 6/6 with trample. Finaly if things go south and your against another aggro deck then you need to out aggro them with Rhonas's Last Stand.

Conclusion

The deck is very fun and pretty fast, it can have the opponent dead on turn 5, and has few weaknesses. I didn't choose to run Glorybringer because it's another 5 drop and Idealy I want all of my guys to be below 5 if giving keywords. The deck dies mainly to Hour of Devastation, Hour of Revelation and Bontu's Last Reckoning but excluding that we are all good to kill on turn 5.
