The shrekoning is upon us. I've based this deck on some insanely powerful cards that aren't normally seen in standard. A game begins with some mana dorks like Elvish Mystic and Sylvan Caryatid (I've opted for caryatid because of it's defensive ability and hexproof). By turn 3, you'll be able to play a Prophet of Kruphix followed up by another 5 drop (of which there are many in the deck) on your opponent's third turn. For example, you could play Prophet of Kruphix, xenagos, god or revels on your opponents turn and then attack for TWELVE trample damage on turn 4 with a Sagu Mauler ! The deck can take many other routes, and doesn't always get the perfect ramp, but the creatures and spells can handle most things I've played against in the standard format.

Prophet of Kruphix has been in standard for so long and still hasn't seen a lot of play. It is a big target, but if she stays out for more than one turn, she has the potential to double the amount of fatties and spells you play. Sagu Mauler is another card that I think should be getting more attention. It costs a lot of mana, but hexproof is amazing in this format and it has incredible synergy with Xenagos, God of Revels. Savage Knuckleblade is in the deck to provide a more aggressive path the game can take, and Arbor Colossus takes care of things like Stormbreath Dragon or Mantis Rider and feeds Xenagod's Devotion.

Temur Charm is in this deck because it has great utility. It can be removal, Mana Leak or an unblockable creature blowout. Crater's Claws is good for removal and can also send massive amounts of damage at your opponent's face in the late game. Polymorphist's Jest is more removal for things with flying or indestructible, or just plain big (it even kills Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker if you have a blocker). Barrage of Boulders can combo with Polymorphist's Jest and also help create unblockable attacks to end the game.

And that's my deck. Please leave feedback if you think I could add of improve anything. Thanks!
