Surrak Dragonclaw was spoiled yesterday, and I was super hyped after reading him. I decided to make a Temur deck, mostly because so many of their cards have been quite nice. In conjunction with Prophet of Kruphix, I have flash, uncounterable creatures.

T1: Elvish Mystic. Standard mana fixing.

T2: Sylvan Caryatid or a non-morphed Rattleclaw Mystic for more mana ramp Magma Spray away any low toughness threats that might have hit the board.

T3: Morphed Rattleclaw Mystic. Then use the three mana you get from flipping it to summon a Savage Knuckleblade next turn.

T4: After Savage Knuckleblade is out and your mana is decently fixed through either various land grabs or just by the two Mystics, you can pretty much go to town with putting big beasties on the field. By this time, you can get the Prophet and Surrak on the field if you play the Prophet first and flash Surrak in on your opponent's turn. After that happens, defend your board state and beat faces.
