Trueheart Twins
Creature — Jackal Warrior
You may exert this creature as this attacks. (This won't untap during your next untap step.)
Whenever you exert a creature, creatures you control get +1/+0 until end of turn.

I am playing Throne of the God-Pharaoh, not God-Pharaoh's Gift. It comes in at a cmc of 2, which is not expensive. I tried this deck, with a different side-board at an FNM and it bombed. Part of this was due to very bad mana draws, being mana screwed one game and mana-flooded the next. The main issue was that other decks that I played were just that much faster to get established. By the end of the evening, it became clear that swapping out Trueheart Twins for Lightning Strike and Naga Vitalist for Blossoming Defense makes a significantly more competitive deck. The core strategy of having exert creatures that can attack twice per turn seems to work, but you need to be able to throw a Blossoming Defense on Combat Celebrant to protect it for a turn, and a bit of early-game removal helps.
The idea of tapping all creatures before the end of the turn and also burning with the effect of Throne of the God-Pharaoh also seems to work reasonably well.

I can't help but to think that Throne of the God-Pharaoh needs to be in this deck. I would be tempted to replace Honored Hydra, which really only comes into play late in the game as a win-more card (you should already be in a winning or losing position before you get to play this card). Honored Hydra and Trueheart Twins can, however be cheated out by Champion of Rhonas. I want to try and build a Throne of the God-Pharaoh version of this deck (possibly also trying to accommodate Rishkar, Peema Renegade and Growing Rites of Itlimoc Flip without losing the agro-exert feel of the deck)

Gideon exert (from sealed), improved.

Unfortunately I realized that Always Watching isn't standard legal and this is a standard deck (although I can still use it for Modern), however I have replaced them with the two Trueheart Twins for now as recommended, i'm also considering two Glorybringer instead as I can't seem to find anything similar to Always Watching which I would prefer.

This is an actually interesting use for a PW Deck Planeswalker! Wow, Gideon, Martial Paragon, I didn't know you had it in you! +1 to untap all your Exerters is pretty dope, not gonna lie. It's basically pseudo-vigilance!
I actually have a RW Exert deck in Magic Duels, and I win pretty often. I'd recommend 4 copies of Always Watching because that card is so dope, and maybe cutting some of the Trials because they don't really do all that much. Trueheart Twins is basically a win condition if you're built up enough. Every creature you exert give every creature +1/+0. That might sound mediocre, but just look at this example.
You have 2x Ahn Crop Crasher and 2x Gust Walker out on the field. You play the Twins, and move to attack. You exert everything (this is ridiculous if you have your Gideon or Always Watching, btw, because you can do it every turn).
You've exerted 2 Crashers, so two of their creatures can't block. Your Gust Walkers also are now 3/3s with Flying. Then, Trueheart activates, and everything gets +4/+0. Now you're swinging in with a pair of 7/2s on the ground and a pair of 7/3s in the air. Out of nowhere.
Basically, it will just win the game in a turn or two.

The listed subtypes for almost the entire Jackal tribe seems to be incorrect. I tried to fix it but, unless I'm being an idiot and misunderstanding the interface, it isn't possible because the only Jackal related option in the drop-down menu is "Zombie Jackal".
Affected cards:
Battlefield Scavenger, Bitterblade Warrior, Bitterbow Sharpshooters, Champion of Rhonas, Dauthi Jackal, Defiant Khenra, Earthshaker Khenra, Flameblade Adept, Hurr Jackal, Jackal Familiar, Jackal Pup, Khenra Charioteer, Khenra Eternal, Khenra Scrapper, Nimble-Blade Khenra, Resilient Khenra, Trueheart Twins, Wildfire Eternal.

You're running so many exert cards, I'm surprised you're not running one of the following exert lords: Vizier of the True, Trueheart Twins, Resolute Survivors or Battlefield Scavenger. Also, Ahn-Crop Crasher seems pretty good

Thanks for your suggestion, sebtuch!
I think you are right it could lack of some consistency through the many different creatures.
I will kick out:

killahzwag on Need help with WR Exert

Ok, so i made these changes:
3 Thalia, Heretic Cathar for 3 Companion of the Trials.
2x Gideon's Resolve and Hazoret's Favor for 3x Always Watching .
2x Hyena Pack in favor of 2x Trueheart Twins.
2x Solemn Recruit for 2x Sparring Mummy.
With these changes, I'm on 17 W 16 R.
Now, i'm not sure i need the cartouche + trials or the Shock. I have considered just taking them all out for Insult / Injury and more creatures.
I haven't been able to play with the deck since the changes, but today i will. After that, i think i will be able to do more tinkering and i will update the decklist.
