Sand Strangler

Creature — Beast

When Sand Strangler enters the battlefield, if you control a Desert or there is a Desert card in your graveyard, you may have Sand Strangler deal 3 damage to target creature.

Cool deck! Gilded Cerodon and Sand Strangler feel a bit out of place for me as you are only running two deserts and that's the only synergy with them in the deck. If you're looking for a cheap big hitter you could try Plated Crusher.

Honestly, I get why you use Gideon of the Trials, but I think that Always Watching will give you more bang. I know, I know-- it's an enchantment compared to a planeswalker and it's a silly comparison for me to even try and make, but I have a similar deck and I've found Always Watching to be the absolute game-changer. Just my two cents!

I also get the Fragmentize main board, but I would really move that to the side and move in your Sand Strangler or a couple additional Soul-Scar mages. Before it rotates, Village Messenger would also be good in its place.

For land, you'll really want to invest in Inspiring Vantage if you can. Very much worth the money. I think 1x Shefet Dunes might be a good fit as well.

Cool deck! Good luck!

Thanks for your suggestion, sebtuch!

I think you are right it could lack of some consistency through the many different creatures.

I will kick out:

I think you could use some one drops like Bloodlust Inciter which will allow you to attack with Nef-Crop Entangler immediately. Speaking of which, maybe Bloodrage Brawler would be better as two drop creature?

It looks like Wildfire Eternal doesn't have any job to do there. It's really a great card, but which spell would you cast with it if it would be unblocked? Maybe you could think about Inferno Jet and throw 6 damage to your opponents face?

Since you have some deserts in your deck, maybe you could think about more synergies with them? Sand Strangler is an interesting card, and it's really effective.

I don't thik that Renegade Tactics or Crash Through is necessary here, they provide minor draw. Maybe it's better to use there more useful cards, like two additional Trial of Zeal?

I have some doubts about Frontline Devastator and Minotaur Sureshot. I mean the Afflict and Reach is really good, but how often would you be able to use their activated abilites? Maybe you could use more Ahn-Crop Crasher here which is a great creature for just 3 mana. On turn 4 you could attack with it, exert it, give him some Brute Strength and Fling it :) That would be something.

This deck got a lot of potential but I feel like it needs more consistency.

Cheers!
