Playing off the synergy of Dreadhorde Arcanist, Season of Growth, and pump spells. Apparently, I learned after, this is like a R/G attempt as a Feather deck. Maybe it'll work? Anyway, Spellgorger Weird and Deeproot Champion were musts. Then went with Gruul Spellbreaker for hexproof-ish and trample and Thrash / Threat because that flexibility of either creature targeting or another creature is perfect for this deck.

A lot of Feather decks don't seem to be running Season of Growth, which is in my mind what makes this deck make sense. So by not playing white, I lose Feather, but I've replaced flying with trample creatures and lots of fight-based removal, and while I don't have the heroic-ish abilty or scrying of the Tenth District Legionnaire, 8 of my creatures pump with spells that target anyone, and I scry every time I play a creature with Season of Growth anyway. The main advantage from playing Naya seems to be Gods Willing and Feather's ability, but I have more creatures that grow with spells and less color-based inconsistency. Figured it's worth a shot.

Still a work in progress. Would love comments.
