Adapted from here, with some changes and tweaking for grindier matchups, especially marvel.

:)))))) I LOVE IT! Deck plays great with Rhonas the Indomitable providing a mana sink in addition to your energy sinks. The deck generates incredible amounts of resources while playing so few lands that most draws are gas.

Major weakness is opening hands. It's possible to hit pockets of no lands, even 8-9 cards deep. As such, it can really rely on the mana dorks living to curve out, so try to play against opp removal! Definitely look for hands with 2-3 lands and a way to accelerate (mana dork or attune)!

SB plans under construction because I just reworked the deck! :)

GAMEPLAN: Wipe the board. Magma Spray their recurring dudes and Harnessed Lightning the lords. Fly over and crash in with Hydra for the win.

OUT on the PLAY:

3x Arlinn Kord  

1x Rhonas the Indomitable

IN on the PLAY:

4x Radiant Flames

OUT on the DRAW:

3x Arlinn Kord  

1x Rhonas the Indomitable

2x Magma Spray

IN on the DRAW:

2x Chandra, Torch of Defiance

4x Radiant Flames

GAMEPLAN: This is a good matchup. Survive early and pressure planeswalkers late with flying threats. WATCH OUT FOR Archangel Avacyn   !!!

OUT on the PLAY:

1x Hazoret the Fervent

2x Cut / Ribbons

IN on the PLAY:

1x Manglehorn

2x Dissenter's Deliverance

SB PLAN DEPENDS HEAVILY ON THE VEHICLES BUILD

GAMEPLAN: KEEP HANDS THAT CAN INTERACT WITH T2 SNAKE OR YOU'LL LOSE. Rely on Hydra and Rhonas to gum up the ground and fly over.

OUT:

2x Magma Spray

2x Arlinn Kord  

IN:

2x Chandra, Torch of Defiance

2x Tireless Tracker

GAMEPLAN: Bristling Hydra for the win, probably. Load up on planeswalkers because they need to keep removal and Essence Scatter for the Bristling Hydras.

OUT:

2x Magma Spray

2x Cut / Ribbons

4x Harnessed Lightning

IN:

2x Tireless Tracker

2x Chandra, Torch of Defiance

2x Nissa, Steward of Elements

2x Fevered Visions

GAMEPLAN: Just interact. It's not very difficult, but you're facing a regular combo deck; if you don't draw the right removal at the right time, you'll probably lose. Additionally, Bristling Hydra is really hard for YOU to deal with, so block with your own Hydra if you have to. Try to make them run out of resources blanking your Main Phase 2 or End Step removal.

OUT:

3x Arlinn Kord  

1x Rhonas the Indomitable

2x Glorybringer

IN:

2x Dissenter's Deliverance

4x Radiant Flames

Split for first, took the packs gave him the playmat (nothing can replace my tasipurr!) ;)

Did fine, think the deck is in a medium position against the meta. Very dependent on matchups. I don't like standard HAHA.
