The latest in what I'm sure will be a long line of Jeskai Ascendancy exploits.

Basically, turns 1-3 you'd like to have a few mana creatures: Birds of Paradise, Noble Hierarch, Dryad Arbor and the like, and at least 1x Jeskai Ascendancy. At that point, you can pull off a near-infinite combo as early as turn 4 - recharging your mana creatures with draw cards (Brainstorm, Manamorphose, Ponder, etc), all the while pumping your mana creatures and your hand. Hopefully you kick in a 2nd or 3rd Jeskai Ascendancy and then you've really run away, even if you aren't utilizing its second ability (though it's a nice way to delve your Treasure Cruise).

The sideboard is still rough, obviously - not thinking too much about quick answers to my opponent, but I'd welcome any feedback. It's pretty fun to have 3x 8/8 Birds of Paradise on turn 4.
