Hey guys,

So this is the very first deck I have ever built from scratch. Usually, I've just always piggybacked off the decks I see here. So, any suggestions or critiques are welcome!

I'm going for: flying, vamps, and counters (hence, Aetherborn Marauder). It seems a bit aggro to me since I have so many 1-2 drops, and I haven't figured out my "go-to" heavy hitter/game winner play. I think I might need to refine my creatures and maybe add some more enchantments or instants (I hate sorceries, haha).

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome (again). Thanks guys!! Here is my deck list:

4 Aether Poisoner

4 Aetherborn Marauder

2 Airdrop Aeronauts

2 Archfiend of Ifnir

2 Bone Picker

2 Consulate Surveillance

4 Deadeye Tracker

2 Defiant Salvager

2 Duskborne Skymarcher

4 Exquisite Archangel

4 Forerunner of the Legion

2 Inspiring Cleric

2 Night Market Aeronaut

2 Skittering Heartstopper

2 Yahenni, Undying Partisan

11 Swamp9 Plains

Sideboard:

4 Ixalan's Binding

Please put your thing in a deck and link it. Makes life so much easier.

Nillstan makes a good point. Its so much easier, and people will be more willing to help. My opinion: get more vampires like Sadistic Skymarcher (it flies and is a vampire!).And then your finisher could be some Bishop of the Bloodstained.

Honestly, you're trying to do too much at once. Set up one thing and run with that. Vampires, counters, fliers, it really doesnt matter. Almost anything can be good if its built decent enough, hence my vampire deck. So pick one thing, go with that, build with better card choices as you upgrade over time, and just practice. My whole shtick is playing decks that shouldn't work, but somehow do well, so it's not out of the question. As it is, it will function. But its nothing more than an appetizer for most decent decks running amok in standard rn.

You could try running some sort of graveyard shenanigans deck. Rarely see those but they're usually very powerful.
