I'm adjusting my current standard deck (http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/10-08-15-jeskai-combo/) to fit the new BfZ standard. Will it work? Probably only if more cantrips are released, and if I can get more manadorks/pseudo manadorks (i.e. awakened lands) Note: It is slower for sure, but it can go crazier more consistently, I'd say.

Tips to use this deck:

Focus on surviving until either a Noyan Dar or a Jeskai Ascendancy makes it onto the battlefield. These are the key cards.

Don't be afraid to 'throw away' cantrips to cycle through the deck to get what you want. I've used defiant strike on enemy creatures just for the draw a crazy number of times.

While comboing out, use Treasure Cruise to delve away unnecessary creatures and lands to keep the combo going as long as possible.

The win con is mill with Sphinx's Tutelage. However, if the opportunity presents itself, swing away with your creatures!

--

Ideal opening hand includes a mana dork, 2 relevant lands (one needs green for the dork, obviously), and a few cantrips. Starting with either Ascendancy or Tutelage is nice, but not required due to how fast this deck can cycle.

Obviously this is not competitive, but I very much enjoy playing it. I can consistently get to combo out by/on turn 8, but the previous iteration (see link above) was much faster, comboing out turn 5 or 6 reliably. Any suggestions would be great, although I'd rather not any of them be to add fetchlands. Sideboard suggestions very much welcome.
