This is a brew I've been working on since before rotation, it used to be more Planeswalker based with Heart of Kiran to provide pressure, but I went back to basics and am trying to make it competitive.

The deck is based around either stalling the board state with tons of first striking creatures, such as Dire Fleet Daredevil, and trying to flip Path of Mettle   to whittle your opponents health down. Justice Strike is in the deck as a sort of Doom Blade, but a flipped Path of Mettle can usually handle any big attacker the first strikers can't. After side boarding the deck has access to some potent Planeswalkers, like Karn, Scion of Urza, and some hand disruption.

I expect the power level of this deck to sky rocket once the next block is released and we get access to Rakdos and Orzhov cards.
