The Main idea is to utilize Jeskai Ascendancy, Retraction Helix and free "non creature" spells which are artifacts in this deck to abuse Ascendancys untap and +1/+1. Prowess also kicks in. Once you've pumped the Ornithopter enough times you can either fly over for lethal, or if you're feeling like it, swing in with Monastery Swiftspear, if they have a blocker no problem, whack a messengers speed onto her and lethal.
Monastery Swiftspear is particularly effective as she quickly becomes too big for most burn spells to deal with.
The Plan:
T1: Play a land,
Ornithopter
,
Springleaf Drum
, Monastery Swiftspear
T2: Play a land, Tap
Ornithopter
,
Jeskai Ascendancy
.
T2/3: Play a land, At this stage you can attempt to go off. Play any of the 0 mana artifacts, with
Retraction Helix
, go infinite and swing in. Monastery Swiftspear will gain +2/+2 each time you ping something back.
Ornithopter
will attack for flying, If needed Messenger's Speed for trample incase of any pesky blockers.
