Nice looking Feather deck, Kcin! Some ideas that I hope will benefit you:

  • At the end of every turn, you still need to discard down to 7 cards. So of all the instants/sorceries you manage to return to your hand at the beginning of the end step, some you might have to get rid of again when you hit the discard phase. Using cards like Library of Leng, Reliquary Tower, Spellbook or Thought Vessel prevent this from being necessary.
  • Guttersnipe is awesome, but Fiery Inscription is better because it's an enchantment, which makes it harder for opponents to get rid of. That's not to say you shouldn't run Snipe by the way, I'd recommend running both :)
  • Being able to repeatedly cast Angelfire Ignition on Feather is just criminally good; please run it!
  • There are some excellent additional cantrips you could consider that also allow you to draw cards when you cast them. Some examples I'm using include Crimson Wisps, Guided Strike, Psychotic Fury and Rebellious Strike.
  • Phalanx Leader works really well as an army booster in this deck.

Have fun with this brew. Cheers!

This has some real potential. Phalanx Leader with some additional buffs could make this deck sing. I would cut some of your higher costed cards for a playset. Check out Mana Tithe or Silence for some added protection.

I recommend Phalanx Leader Fabled Hero mostly with Auras, Instants, and Sorceries. For draw, I recommend Towashi Guide-Bot Puresteel Paladin Akiri, Fearless Voyager Sword of Fire and Ice and maybe Skullclamp

Changelog v2.0:

  • Changed Lagonna-Band Trailblazer to Simic Initiate and quantity from three to four.
  • ・It's functional and also frees up a slot for basic land by replacing a Llanowar Reborn.
  • Reduced Phalanx Leader to two copies.
  • ・Strictly better than the generic heroic effect, but it costs WW, and waiting on that can gimp an entire match. On top of that, all of my combat tricks're green, so having access to say, one of those per turn is going to slow down what you got out of it, anyway.
  • Increased Ainok Bond-Kin to three.
  • ・Deck is otherwise lacking in things that enter the field with proportional size to their cost, and, first strike aside, it has a lax 1W casting cost.
  • Increased Akroan Skyguard to three.
  • ・Easy-to-achieve casting cost for reliable creature, assuming you can get it to grow.
  • Reworked mana: dropped vivid lands, reduced Llanowar Reborn to three, added Fortified Village, added five forests and reduced plains by one.
  • ・Much better without waiting a turn. I guess you can use the vivid stuff for a poor man's five-color deck.

Akroan Skyguard and Arena Athlete might be good ways to get damage past blockers.

Phalanx Leader buffs wide, but makes your field more vulnerable to removal. can be expensive, too.

Every deck needs a good late-game finish/boardwipe too - what about packing two Chandra's Ignitions? You could even include a couple Tajic, Legion's Edge - the combination of Mentor and Haste along with the First Strike option makes him a very potent aggro card to use alongside Double Strike 2-drops. (Also, if you target him with the Chandra's Ignition, only your opponent and their creatures take damage)

KayneMarco - They do get exiled, but they make excellent attackers with any of the buff creatures (Leonin Lightscribe, Anax and Cymede, Phalanx Leader) and they can be made on opponents' turns so they can function as blockers against things without trample, I'm really excited for this card actually lol
