Picking a new deck
Standard forum

Looking for a little help from any standard grinders or home-brewers! I'm moving slowly towards a new deck after giving my goofy bant combo deck a good run. Advice and suggestions for a new deck are welcome!
Here are some points to narrow it down:
I'm not really in with net-decking unless the deck is more creative than most. I like to pilot something that catches opponents unprepared.
I traded for 3 copies of Chandra, Pyromaster a while back and haven't used them. Bonus points for getting to sleeve and run that. Alternately, my Plasm Capture s and Wild Beastmaster s feel a little underused as well.
I own full sets of each shockland that contains no black. I know black is nearly a requirement for a standard deck right now, but I dislike it and so haven't built the mana base. Other colors are all great by me.
I've played aggro, control, combo, midrange, anything. I'm leaning towards aggro tempo something or other, but I could bail on that plan if a great deck pushes me in another direction.
In any case, thanks in advance for ideas!
Are you on a tight budget? I've seen a G/R monsters/Superfriends build that looks really fun to play. Basically, ramp, big fatties, along with Chandra, Pyromaster , Garruk, Caller of Beasts , Domri Rade and Xenagos, The Reveler . Something like that, or Bant walkers might be fun. Those are 2 decks I'd like to play with sometime.

If I could I would build this one Simic Mega Ramp. Seems a lot of fun and I don't think it is too mainstream.

I'm holding myself to a budget, yes. Sadly, superfriends is way outside that.
Simic ramp seems fun, although I shy away from Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx because I'm sick of seeing devotion decks everywhere all the time.
Anyone running decks using Assemble the Legion or Hypersonic Dragon ?

Even though R/W burn has become more popular, you could run that. I have been playing it here for a while now and its fun, exciting, and easy to add a new twist that will catch your opponent off guard.
With your Chandra, Pyromaster you could easily build a version of it. If you want anywhere to start, check out:

The amount of times I've used Signal the Clans EoT to grab a threat is countless, and Thassa + Xenagod is hilarious.

Once I played a mono green aggro deck (while innistrad/m13 was still standard legal) that ran 4 copies of Wild Beastmaster . To see the look on your opponents face when you pump that beastmaster with 3 pump spells is always a sight! Lol once one guy looked at the card and just tossed it back at me, saying it was a shitty card. On my next turn I won with 42 damage to his face.
