5-0! —June 10, 2016
1st Round: B/R Vampires This guy was an experienced player, But mulliganed to 5 the first game (which I won) and didn't get his 1st surviving creature until turn 4 (I killed his 3 drop) the second game, and by my next turn i had Oath of nissa, Sylvan Advocate, Thunderbreak Regent, and Jace.
2nd Round: Mono White Humans: I expected this to be a bad matchup, But I won two to one, him winning the first game, But Kalitas and Radiant flames proved helpful. The first and last game were close but the second game was a blowout.
3rd Round: A kid playing a budget G/B aristocrats without any CoCos. stomped him with dragons first game and drowned with card advantage second game.
2nd Fnm of the day:
4th Round: Another Humans List, But this time budget. Beat him 2-0, Close 1st game but sideboard sweepers took game 2.
5th round: Beat A Jeskai fevered visions deck with card advantage in 1 game, And 3 Thunderbreak regents, 2 Dragons from Sarkhan, A nissa token And 2 Sylvan advocates 2nd game. He just didn't have enough answers, Being forced to trade dragon lord ojutais for 4/4s.
6th Round: Bant Company Humans. Yes more humans. Seems like a good matchup, as I killed him first game, forgot to sideboard, and still beat him second game.

In this deck Sarkhan is going to be difficult to cast, running 4 colors is going to be rough on you and overall you don't have much to get you to your walkers in means of removal. Personally I would focus the idea more.
Now a Temur Dragons build using Icefall Regent, Thunderbreak Regent Dragonlord Atarka, Dragonlord Kolaghan with the tiniest black splash just incase, and Sarkhan makes Sarkhan's Ult an auto game over cause Kolaghan gives all your creatures haste. Ult Sarkhan and swing for 30 in the air. I'd still keep the Chandra's in it cause she is awesome. Oath of Jace or Anticipate would be great for drawing cards. Run a few Clash of Wills, Fall of the Titans, definitely the Explosive Veggies because that will make getting all your colors easier so Sarkhan can come out faster.
Bottom line Jace doesn't do anything but give you better card draw and a bounce until his Ult. Arlinn won't be used to her full potential as well as Nissa and Ob Nixilis. Now a Naya Superfriends/Tokens deck is possible with these cards too, a Jund Control deck would work well too. Don't think I'm bashing this deck it is just a lot of really good cards that might not necessarily support each other well. Dial it in and focus on a few things. Control and Dragons, Control and Superfriends, Superfriends and Tokens, etc. not 4 color, Control, dragons, Superfriends.
Personally I would love to see a Temur black Sarkhan deck.

The Oath of Nissa makes Sarkhan so easy to cast.
I see all those dragons and wonder if Dragon Whisperer can help you go wide when needed.

@keevel: Dragon Whisperer is a good idea, but won't work with the 4 color manabase. Thanks anyway!
