Knuckleblade, Siege Rhino, Chromanticore (Standard MTG Deck)

Rainbow Beast
CHROMANTICORE!
This deck has taken over my standard life. Of the standard decks I have (Jeskai Tokens, Sultai Control, Mardu Planeswalkers) I only want to play this deck. The only problem is the mana base. Clunky, but workable. Mulligan if you less than 3 colors or less than 3 lands/caryatids. When it works, it is so fun. Sure you might get some chuckles when you play turn 1 Sandsteppe Citadel turn 2 Opulent Palace but the chuckles turn to frowns when you drop threat after threat after threat then bestow a Chromanticore on one of those threats. The looks on their faces when they first read Chromanticore like, "this does what?"

Chromanticore/Savage Knuckleblade/Siege Rhino/Stormbreath Dragon.

After my first go at my LGS I fully expected to have a good time and go 0-3, but instead had some good luck and went 3-0 against: Abzan Midrange, GR Monsters and GB Constellation. Since then I've played this at 4 Standard events and always win at least 1 match.

Went 2-1 for the second week in a row. Loses came at the hands of Arbor Colossus and Fanatic of Mogis+Eidolon of the Great Revel+Stormbreath Dragon.

I am now running 2x Magma Jet and 3x Anger of the Gods to slow down the fast decks in Game 1. I have gone with spot removal for the devotion/monsters decks that use Arbor Colossus. I think perhaps End Hostilities or Duneblast may be a better sideboard option so I will try both out next week.
