Since the Dominaria spoiler dropped, the idea of playing jank auras in standard hasn't left my mind. So I made a few brews, jeskai with Danitha Capashen, Paragon and Sram, Senior Edificer, boros dropping the blue for mana consistancy and danitha's ridiculous text box (both of which you can find on my profile ;) ). Then I finally drew up a U/R list and instantly loved it.
Valduk and champion were main draws to the aura theme so they were the insta includes. After them I really liked the idea of Bomat Courier as a way to refuel and get in early beats, I'm not above suiting it up either... damage is damage. Siren Stormtamer pulls double duty as an evasive threat which wears aura well and a much needed protective card for champion and valduk. Finally Kari Zev, Skyship Raider is just a solid body to suit up, already having evasion and first strike makes her a perfect threat... also monkey.
The aura suite is the most efficient/proactive cards I could shove in. Cartouche of Knowledge/Arcane Flight are obvious includes granting flying and a buff is just what champion wants. The draw of Cartouche is icing on the cake. Curious Obsession provides some much needed card draw, without sram the deck is very lacking in that department. Cartouche of Zeal cheap, provides a buff, and help the dudes get in. Giant Spectacle, this is almost Madcap Skills and that card is awesome, so I'm going to at least try this. Curator's Ward, I thinking this might be the most important aura. It allows you to go crazy on both champion and Valduk. Suit Valduk up and send in an army of 3/1s, if they somehow manage to deal with him then you get 2 cards for your trouble. Suit up champion and you get to go as tall as possible and end the game real quick!
I think thats about it, any and all feedback/suggestions are welcome! Thanks, Valuebear.
