So, as I predicted with the new set, Mardu vehicles with 4 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, and 4 Heart of Kiran is really, really good... But I didn't want to be considered just another net-decker once the new set came out, so I made my own version, keeping just red and white.
So here are some card choices and why I picked them:
4x Aethersphere Harvester: Great card. I think it gives this deck the flying, hard to block, hard to kill, staying power that it needs.
4x
Aethergeode Miner
: This card is surprisingly amazing. I am predicting, as the meta responds to the unfounded aggression of mardu vehicles, having some staying power is viable. This little lady provides energy for herself to bounce around and dodge removal, energy for the harvester to gain you life off of, and energy for Harnessed Lightening to be pumped by to remove any big threats. Just a great add all around.
Here are some cards I don't want to consider (because they are either too obvious, or I just don't want them):
Gideon, Ally of Zendikar: He is amazing... but pricey. And a little too easy to pick as a deck brewer. I cut him because... well... screw him. I am the only planeswalker this deck needs.
Heart of Kiran: Great card... also pricey... Also overwrought... Boring.
Thraben Inspector: Another vanilla card... It is pretty useful, but I want Bomat Courier in it's slot to fill in the draw engine that once was Smuggler's Copter.
Please, give me some feedback on this. I think it is still somewhat interesting regardless of mardu vehicles being somewhat of an overbearing success, and I'd like feedback!
