This deck started off as a random cool idea, but then I quite liked it and have started throwing it together. Here's a breakdown of each card.
Creatures:
Seeker of the Way
- this guy is in here for obvious reasons. He wins races against aggro, puts pressure on midrange and gets in early game damage agaisnt control. He can swing into a course and kill a caryatid surviving both. He's way too good for an uncommon.
Chasm Skulker- he's no Monastery Mentor, but he gets out a lot of tokens and just begs for removal. He's pumped quickly and easily with Jeskai Ascendancy and Treasure Cruise. Collateral Damage on opponents end step for several tokens.
Instants:
Raise the Alarm: instant speed blockers, prowess triggers and creatures to be pumped by jeskai ascendancy for just 2 mana.
Jeskai Charm- you aren't going to draw into an ascendancy every game, so it's important to have other ways to pump up your creatures. The lifelink can be incredibly valuable too. Bounce a heavy hitter or burn for the win. Jeskai Charm is very versatile and potentially game winning.
defiant stike- 1 mana cantrip and pump spell. Pumps the whole team with an ascendancy and helps make chasm skulker crazy. It's just 1 more card to help push through a courser or caryatid.
Stoke the Flames
- kills: everything. Costs: potential 0 mana. drawback: just about nothing. Tap your creature to convoke, untap them with ascendancy, draw into another stoke from looting, cast a second, pump and loot again, swing for lethal.
Collateral Damage- with tokens, my creatures are expendable. It's an army of 1/1's and I can spare a few. Great synergy with Chasm Skulker.
Sorceries
Launch the Fleet- potential to double my army of 1/1 tokens. Would be fun to play with Battlefield Thaumaturge...
Hordeling Outburst- I really don't feel the need to explain this one.
Enchantment
Jeskai Ascendancy- this card makes the deck. Pumps every card above and beyond their individual strength. The deck works without it, but this is the power behind it all.
Sideboard tech comming soon! If I missed a card, do tell me, it's quite possible I fogot something :P
Help me find room in here for Treasure Cruise! It's a must have, but I dont know what to drop.
