So, this is a deck that I made to learn people the importance of synergy. Before we start, I'd like to mention the decks from WltC which covered the basics. After you learn the basics, it was my idea to cover some archetypes, such as populate/token. This is the first of a few I'll make, I might start with the 5 original guilds. One of the differences is that I will throw in some rares, (but keep it budget friendly) because they synergize well. This is also the first deck that I will use to introduce the importance of a sideboard, and with amonkhet I added some cycle cards, to help teach another keyword.

I added black to 1: show the importance of a good mana base and 2: show people what a splash is, and what good can come of it. I think the splash will make the deck slightly less consistent, as you might miss your / mana in one of the first few turns, but it also helps later in the game, when you want the extra benefits.
