Naya Midrange!
Mainboard
Avacyn's Pilgrim - Acceleration, becomes a threat with Kessig Wolf Run
Farseek
- Acceleration
Huntmaster of the Fells
- 2 bodies for one card, a bit of lifegain, and he is great friends with Restoration Angel
Restoration Angel - 3/4 flyer is a surprise blocker, likes letting Huntmaster of the Fells
flip, abuses ETB effects, and can save creatures in a pinch.
Loxodon Smiter - 4/4 for 3 mana, On turn two, he pushes aggro around. Also makes Liliana cry, and that's no small feat.
Boros Reckoner - 3/3 which invites a 2-for-1, 1-for-0, or even a 2-for-0 against aggro. Great 3 drop, very versatile.
Mizzium Mortars - Early game spot kill, can become a one-sided sweep as early as turn 4 or 5. Yum!
Thragtusk needs no explanation, he's a 2-for-1, big body, lifegain, target for flicker.
Thundermaw Hellkite and Aurelia, the Warleader are great finishers.
Kessig Wolf Run makes everything a threat.
Domri Rade
is effectively card draw at 27 creatures, and decent creature removal in a pinch with naya's fatties. His emblem is a great finisher, too.
Garruk, Primal Hunter
makes fat tokens, and typically ends up drawing 4/5+ cards at once.
Sideboard
Angel of Serenity
- 5/6 Flyer which can either A) sweep the board of another midrange player or B) recycle 3 threats against control
Aurelia's Fury - 3 mana essentially guarantees an unchanged board presence for one turn against control - enough to win. an extra mana or two nails their token blockers as well.
Boros Charm - Extra 4 reach, great against control. Indestructibility trumps verdict, and double strike is a neat combat trick against midrange.
Rest in Peace - Because FU Human Reanimator. Also, zombies are still sort of a thing.
Selesnya Charm - Say no to just about any huge creature in the format. Great card vs rites & heartless summoning decks.
Triumph of Ferocity
- More gas vs. control, esper seems to have problems dealing with both planeswalkers AND enchantments, with not enough rings or spheres to go around.
Zealous Conscripts
- Thanks for the finisher, opposing midrange/rites deck! Also makes good friends with Restoration Angel.
So far I've had pretty great success with this deck. Feedback is invited!
