This deck aims to go as wide as possible as quickly as possible, while providing pumps for the entire team. It is reminiscent of the powerful GW deck that was running around while it still had access to Dromoka's Command, but this version's aim is to provide faster clocks on your opponents.

The deck is straightforward with a ton of synergies. Sram's Expertise is easily the best card in the deck, allowing for some insanely degenerate plays, and Loam Dryad - as much as I detest that card - allows you to do everything sooner. Sram's Expertise + pretty much anything in the deck it allows you to cast sans Oath of Nissa or Loam Dryad is going to be nuts, and it generally makes your following turn a decisive one. Winding Constrictor is the main reason I wanted Black for this deck (plus Weaponcraft Enthusiast was a nice benefit of the splash), and so far it's been pretty powerful. Not only does it work with the +1/+1 counters, but having it double energy counters from Aether Hub is much more relevant than it initially seems, fixing your mana for multiple turns in a deck with relatively few lands.

Let me know what you guys think! I am planning on making this my main Standard deck once Aether Revolt launches if I can't salvage my spirits after the ban hammer hit that deck hard.

My current sideboard is just something I've thrown together currently, and a decent chunk of it goes towards being mirror-breakers against other creature-heavy decks. Unfortunately against Yahenni's Expertise I just need to get my creatures big faster, but against control decks that will be running Fumigate and/or Planar Outburst I have multiple options like Selfless Spirit, Heroic Intervention, and Make a Stand, all of which have merits over the others, so it's kind of a toss-up which one(s) I should play in the side (if any).
