Intro
Renegade Rallier is my favourite card of AER by far - and this deck explains why. It's built around the rallier with high tempo and win-cons in ultimate PW or Rishkar's Expertise.
In this deck, the rallier is able to return:
Aethergeode Miner
Heart of Kiran
Evolving Wilds
Selfless Spirit
Oath of Nissa
Card explaination:
1 drops:
Oath of Nissa provide mana fixing/creatures/PW - and since im running 4x, they're eventually destroying each other, triggering revolt and provide a new option for the Rallier.
Essence Flux helps trigger revolt and protects. Does well with the rallier or gearhulk
2 drops:
Heart of Kiran is just too strong not to play - especially with Renegade Rallier and the PW's.
Aethergeode Miner can trigger revolt and protects itself and can crew Heart of Kiran
Selfless Spirit protects the board and triggers revolt.
Unsubstantiate a great tempo card, that can either protect my board or remove blockers.
3 drops:
Thalia, Heretic Cathar oozes tempo card as it can prevent decks from their curve, slow opponents defence, crew Heart of Kiran and also prevents Saheeli combo.
Renegade Rallier can either ramp with Evolving Wilds, filter with Oath of Nissa or revive creatures or Heart of Kiran
4 drops:
Tamiyo, Field Researcher has a great tempo play in her -2 and can be a great draw-engine (possible to get 4 cards with 2x Heart of Kiran on the field)
Gisela, the Broken Blade is just a great T4 drop with evasion that kills Heart of Kiran
5 drops:
Nissa, Vital Force can be lethal with its +1 or protect itself, while its -3 is able to get a Tamiyo, Gearhulk, Rishkar's Expertise or ofc the rallier :)
Verdurous Gearhulk is big finisher + functions well with Rishkar's Expertise
6 drops:
Rishkar's Expertise is usually a 3/4 card-draw depending on the board and is able to cast a Nissa/Tamiyo/Gearhulk afterwards
Sideboard:
Authority of the Consulate for Saheeli combo and aggro decks
Duskwatch Recruiter
for more grindy matchups
Gideon, Ally of Zendikar is useful for several matchups
Natural Obsolescence and Ceremonious Rejection for artifact-heavy decks and Marvel
Heroic Intervention against burn control
Immolating Glare against aggro
Sphinx of the Final Word against control
Negate against midrange PW and control
