First MtG deck I've really tried putting together. This deck mainly focuses on taking opponent's monsters with Act of Treason, Wrangle, Unwilling Recruit , and Conquering Manticore and subsequently buffing them with instants such as Butcher's Glee , Rush of Adrenaline, and Coat with Venom . Part of the deck also focuses on doing damage to the opponent's monsters and life quickly through cards such as Lightning Axe, Flame Lash , Inner Struggle , Defeat , Hand of Silumgar , and ultimately Chandra Ablaze.

As I stated before this is the first Magic deck that I've put the effort into building (I started playing Magic back during Core 2015, but never fully got into it until recently), so I'm essentially looking for feedback on what's good, what's bad, and what can be removed/added to strength the deck. I took a look at other decks around TappedOut that dealt with stealing opponent's monsters to get some ideas, and that led to many of the cards I have listed on my Maybeboard. My sideboard consists of other creatures and spells that fit the theme I'm going for but put there so I could get feedback on my main deck before switching them in and out.

So feel free to give suggestions, explanations, or whatever you think may be helpful!
