I can feel my creative deckbuilding juices flowing.... time to break out the jank.
So far I've build and Abzan (
) midrange-control deck (yeah, I don't know how that happened either), and now I've taken it upon myself to build something for each clan. But the kicker is that I'm be trying to build things that isn't the clans' ideal deck.
For example, Mardu (
) is the aggro clan, wanting to kill opponents ASAP. Therefore, I'm brewing up a Mardu control list.
Jeskai (), a clan focused on control/tempo strategies. Imma make an aggro deck.
Sultai (
, a slow disruption/mill deck based around the grave. Another aggro deck.
Temur ()... Temur kinda does everything, so I think I'll make a creatureless deck!
Note that all the assessments of the clans have been based on my own analysis.
So that being said, which one do you guys think I should build first? And does anyone have any suggestions of what else I could make? If I still have the motivation to do more if/when I finish these, I may do some of those.

I would like to see the creatureless Temur deck. Mostly because that means no ferocious or ramp.

rofl I messed it up even more

Yeah, Jeskai is URW, I hit the wrong button. You guys know how close the u key is to the b key.

I too was thinking about a Mardu control build. Mogis, God of Slaughter will finally have a place in this world!

I think Mardu Control will be a strong contender during the next standard season. Access to Thoughtseize , Despise , End Hostilities , Utter End , Banishing Light , Anger of the Gods , Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker , Hero's Downfall , and Elspeth, Sun's Champion really gives Mardu the control edge.

The Doctor, of the Planeswalkers in Temur colors, Kiora, the Crashing Wave , Xenagos, The Reveler , Nissa, Worldwaker all produce/create creatures. Not happening here.

@GoldGhost012 Isn't that a good thing for a deck that relies on Planeswalkers to win?

Absolutely. But not walkers that create or transform creatures in a creatureless deck.
