An update with some changes from recent blocks and I've made the deck...sorta rotation proof.

With the rise of Red/Black Aggro decks in standard and really a lot of the other top tier decks I have updated the deck to be able to really adjust on the fly to what your up against. It's biggest problem before Dominaria was flyers and Merfolk Trickster really helps fighting against them.

I've also removed the Vineshapers as Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca just does so much and we always want him to be on board.

Deeproot waters makes it easy to recover from board wipes and negates a little bit of Counterspell problems and gives us Hexproof creatures.

And to top the deck off I removed Nissa for Hadana's Climb. Really helps finish decks off Fast and gives us some more flying defense should we need it.

As always my Sideboard is more of protection against what's at my store's FNM's a lot since it doesn't run Standard showdowns. But I'm always open to suggestions and idea's!
