This deck is designed to play at instant speed to gain tempo and disrupt our opponent until we're ready to beat face. We have many lines of play available and can pivot to offense/defense very easily, depending on what role we need to play.

I love this deck because it has so much reach, and can quickly burn out our opponent after only a couple creature swings. Late game we have celestial colonnade and a secure the wastes to get in those last points of damage to close things out.

I've been constantly tuning the main 60 to get things just right, so feedback is always appreciated. I've switched out archangel avacyn with secure the wastes because it is so versatile; it can swarm the board or make some blockers until we can turn the corner.

The sideboard is the tricky part. I've chosen the current 15 because it covers just broad enough of the field to either slow many of the decks down, or shut them down completely. The Leylines are being tested in place of runed halo x2 and two other flex spots. I'm light on tron hate in the sideboard because we already have an exceptional clock against them, and our quellers go around eldrazi's cavern of souls. I will appreciate all sideboard feedback.

The cards listed under maybe-board are cards I own that can swap primarily into the sideboard, but there are some that could go in the main-deck.

Thanks for looking, and geist on my friends!
