This Naya Humans deck for Kaladesh standard tries to incorporate many of the new powerful, aggressively tilted cards from Kaladesh into a Thalia's Lieutenant-centered Humans deck. Voltaic Brawler offers a four power attacker on turn three before potential pumps from Lieutenant, Heron's Grace Champion, or Arlinn Kord. Pia Nalaar can kill an opponent on its own by buffing its Thopter or a Thopter-crewed Smuggler's Copter. Tireless Tracker and Thraben Inspector also offer more food in clues for the distract-a-blocker ability on Pia. Thalia, Heretic Cathar can slow down opponents while you pressure with attacks from the Brawler.

While the cards have nice synergies and provide efficient and tough attackers when it comes together, the three-color mana-base can trip you up a bit. Aether Hub, combined with Harnessed Lightning and the two Attune the Aether's, pulls a lot of weight here. I am not certain the numbers on basics and Shadow/Battle lands are optimal yet--but the current configuration is a compromise between wanting Aether Hub and Inspiring Vantage and needing enough Forest-Plains-Mountains to reveal to Fortified Village/Game Trail. Turn one Aether Hub + Attune the Aether feels great though and sets your mana up nicely.

The sideboard is a work in progress. Nahiri and Fragmentize come in against most decks (since most decks will be playing Copter or Gearhulks ugh!). Blossoming Defense will be great against UR Burn or Control decks once they figure out how to control the aggression of the early Kaladesh format. I am not sure the best way to fight decks with Fumigate...possibly sideboarding Selfless Spirit, Eerie Interlude or playing a more conservative game with Reckless Bushwhacker to deal lethal ala Tom Ross White Weenie fame. You play an aggressive/midrange style game, so Stasis Snare is preferable to Declaration in Stone, I think, in the maindeck for large threats that Harnessed Lightning cannot take care of.
