My take on a toughness matters (no Defenders) Doran, the Siege Tower deck. Adding Red and Bloodbraid Elf really brought the deck to another level, and the power and consistency are better than they have ever been.

Turn 3 wins are possible with:

• T1: Land for turn. Tap and cast Birds of Paradise/Noble Hierarch.

• T2: Land for turn. Tap Birds/Noble and cast Doran, the Siege Tower.

• T3: Land for turn. Tap lands and cast Mardu Ascendancy.

• Go to Combat: Swing with Birds/Noble and Doran. Ascendancy creates two 1/1 goblins tapped and attacking. Sac Ascendancy to give all your creatures +0/+3 (or +3/+3 with Doran). Birds hit for 4, each Goblin hits for 4, Doran hits for 8, for total of 20 damage.

Trying to make this as competitive as possible. It has some trouble with 5C Humans sometimes, but otherwise can hold its own against a lot of other top tier decks.

If you have any suggestions or criticisms, especially with the sideboard, leave a comment!
