Unfortunately one of your combos, your favorite apparently, might not quite work the way you think. If you put a creature into play with incandescent soulstoke, and then champion that creature with a new elemental, at the end of turn, no elementals will be sacrificed. The Soulstokes ability only effects the creature it puts into play, not the new champion creature. So basically it kind of works better, just not the way you described it above. Also, if you were looking for a great way to work with the 'Champion' creature ability, try running a Sundial of the Infinite. You can then cast a champion creature, but when it enters the battlefield and its "Champion a creature or sacrifice this card| ability goes on the stack, you can activate the sundial of the infinite and exile that ability from the stack, leaving your champion creature in play even though it did not champion anyone.

I think that you misread my combo description ;)

It's written:

: Tap => 2 <= Incandescent Soulstoke

Of course, if your Elemental with "Champion" isn't put in play with the Soulstoke, it's not sacrificed at end of turn and I have to wait until the "Champion" dies :)

I'm actually playtesting Sundial of the Infinite and it's doing well :)

My friend built a similar deck a while ago, his ran Simian Spirit Guide and Gitaxian Probe, it was quite a lot smoother.

My previous version ran a Simian Spirit Guide and don't even know why I cut it out xDI'll switch it with Smokebraider

Thank you for suggesting Gitaxian Probe ! I didn't know about it but it could fit perfectly in !

I'm not sure if you would need it, but Kessig Wolf Run might be nice. +1 for the elementals! :)

I actually considered it at first but it can't cast the Birds on turn one, so it can slow down my deck :/

Thank you for the upvote <3
