This deck got me to Diamond 1 (Bo3 Standard). I should get mythic today if I play well (fingers crossed).

  
This deck was an attempt to play standard without crafting badger-mole cub or monument to endurance. In this meta you either join me or you play wraths. It may seem like a slightly disjointed pile of cards but there is purpose to the madness. Lightning helix is amazing in this meta. It can remove most threats and gives us valuable life gain. Even Oubouroid gets helixed if you set a stop before combat. Seam rip answers a variety of tricky threats, from caretaker's talent to blood ghast. Torch the tower can snipe lanawar elves or badgermole cubs. No more lies stops those pesky 3 mana value engines on curve (caretaker's talent, unholy annex, monument to endurance, etc). The deck just wants to live long enough to get to 7 mana and cast Jeskai revelation. We will eventually find it, and loop it from the graveyard with storm-chaser's talents.

In the sideboard we have two abrades to deal with monument and synthesizer when it comes up. Three soul guide lanterns are necessary against the cosmic spiderman living end style decks. It's also a fantastic card against lessons. Exiling their graveyard really matters.  Aven Interrupter was put in to stop air-bending from going infinite but nobody actually plays that deck anymore. Now I just use it to answer uncounterable spells. Get lost is just premium removal for those pesky enchantments and plainswalkers. Ill timed explosion is in there cuz sometimes 6 wraths simply isn't enough.

Anyhow, that's my deck. Feel free to tell me what changes you would make if there are any cards I should put in.



If you are sick of Lessons and Badgermole Cubs, there's always Jeskai control.
