CNG_Stream on Boros Plot + Airbend

I think your Slickshot Show-Off in this brew is not going to perform well, as you do no have any spells that you can cast to help pump for it to be aggressive. If you want to use the show-off I would suggest adding cards like Highway Robbery or Demonic Ruckus as cards that you can plot early to help you cast and help the Show-off be able to attack for some more damage. These will help your deck more then Airbender's Reversal as the card is only a defensive card and cannot be played to help with this creature attacks consistently. If you want a card that can be used as removal since you are low on interaction, then you could try using Lightning Helix or Burst Lightning if you want instant interaction, or try the Iroh's Demonstration you have in your maybe board.

If you are looking for cards to have for your sidedeck, then you could try Clarion Conqueror to help shutdown mana production for creatures or Pinnacle Starcage since most of your creatures are able to avoid the exile sweep. Note: Starcage could be airbent by Appa so you could re-sweep the board if opponent rebuilds the board with small creatures, but careful resetting cage vs decks that have sack outlets on board.

To be honest I think you could swap the Slickshot Show-Off out for some Pinnacle Starcage and it would help in more matchups then trying to rebuild what you have to jam the show-off. Or you could try the card Sage of the Skies that could pair well with the reduced cost of the airbent creatures, the cost reduction of Momo or the free plot turns you are casting into.

Hope this suggestion makes sense as I am trying to recommend cads that fit your theme.

jonjonhholt Took me a couple of months, but finally swapped in Grab the Prize for Highway Robbery. Great suggestion! Thanks again!

Wondering if I should cut two Vampire's Kiss for 2 more Grab.

jonjonhholt oh dang, that seems like a solid swap over the 2 Highway Robbery currently in the list. I probably should run 4 copies, but the instant speed of Demand Answers is hard to pass up and not sure if I want to cut any Faithless Looting.

Thanks for the awesome suggestion!
