randalfwarren, you bring up an excellent point. I never thought about that, other than one of the games I was playing, I drew an arbor elf and played him then used him as a chump blocker just because he served no purpose.
AzrielBarakiel, I have originally used blasphemous act in this deck. Now that I see a discrepancy with the arbor elf, i may be adding a couple.

Harvest Pyre is better with Reckoner. You can get more damage out of it, it's an instant, it'll almost always cost less mana, and it's fairly efficient spot-removal.

Yeah I saw some video where a dude did like 30 damage with it. It looks like fun, but I don't know what I would take out for it, or how many to put in. This build Is fun because on more than one occasion, I have dropped a t3 thunder maw, and a turn 4 Aurelia.

I might side board it. I can't see myself using it too much. Not many of my creatures die in matches where I play, at least not non token ones. They're too big and people end up playing defense often.

Any thoughts on Frontline Medic? Seems like an easy splash and a useful sideboard card in your deck.

I tested with it. I found that people know what it does, so they focus everything to kill it when it comes out. Also, with the way that this deck plays, the medic is kind of unnecessary. My three drops are bomb for t2. I have played Thundermaw Hellkite on turn 3 a few times. For the most part, for just dropping creatures, people automatically start playing defensively. The full rack of Boros Charm also take care of that issue of making stuff indestructible during any turn. the medic is only good during my turn. Personally, I am more worried about Supreme Verdict than chump blockers.
But I have tried it, and I decided to go with more beef instead. Reckoner and Smiter won.

I like the deck a lot like mine. Just maybe a little slower. Be a fun match-up. Aurelia's Flicker Check it out.

Why do i get the feeling that you based this on naya midrange in the rtr/inn standard good times... Otherwise, like the deck!

Droxium. Haha, because this was my standard deck during RTR/INN standard. I never deleted it from here because of its success. 'Twas good times indeed.
I got sooooo many free packs with junk rares from this deck. Thank god I never had to pay for them. I pissed dudes off in three states with this bad boy.
The nostalgia here is that this was the first deck that I actually spent a bunch of money to make since my triumphant return to the game in late 2011. It wasn't until I committed to build this deck, that I was sure that I would not just quit again. Never looked back either.
Since then, I have made Jund in modern. I'm working on Jund in legacy. And I am debating on a solid BUG super friends build for standard.
Hope you enjoyed a walk through memory lane with me, lol.

@gnarlicide, my memory goes through seven months working on acquiring a mono blue edh deck. My inspiration was pulling a Vendilion Clique out of a mma pack (i have only bought 2 packs in my life) and from then on, trading away. I have just finished my 5 month journey of Azusa, Lost but Seeking edh and now have two memories going on at once with Momir Vig, Simic Visionary and Ghave, Guru of Spores . I have spent nearly no money on my decks, only trading. It has been a long road, but keeping looking at that one point and soon (it should, slow going right now though) it will be far behind me.
That is my memory lane, and more to come...
Okay, out of my memories into the present, lets do this! Searing Spear ? i think that you need to replace that with Lightning Bolt . Avacyn's Pilgrim , Birds of Paradise . If you want to keep it standard school, don't change it but i am pretty sure that would make this deck much better!

Word. I may do that, but then I would just throw in other cheap dudes and go naya zoo in modern. Lol.

1695$?! But it's f*ckin' strong and Tarmogoyf it's so expensive.

Yeah, buying tarmogoyfs was no laughing matter when I bought them. My wife was freaking out a little. But Due to the expensive cards in this deck, I only play modern and legacy with BGx decks from here on out. This is one of six iterations. I also play regular Jund, Lingering Jund, Treasure Jund, Rock, BUG, and this... So yeah. Goyfs go all around.
It plays pretty awesome, though.
