New from War of the Spark

Roalesk, Apex Hybrid . Planning to pick up 2 of these in place of two Climbs. 4/5 flying trample for 5 with an extra two +1/+1 counters that pumps our team and planeswalkers when it dies? Yes please. Hits on all fronts here.

Tamiyo, Collector of Tales works well against Thought Erasure and Liliana's Triumph .

Vivien, Champion of the Wilds lets us end of turn Krasis or Roalesk, and is another Vivien who searches up creatures.

Paradise Druid has me considering it over Llanowar Elves since it pumps Pelt Collector and taps for UR as well as G. Would probably have to reorganize the 2-drop slot if I intended to do this though. Might do this anyway since 7/11 of the 2-drop slot is reactive or partially reactive.

Highlights

Temur Midrange is a very underrated brew this format. Our goal with this deck is to go both wide and tall with 28 creature spells that get very big very quickly. RUG gives you access to some very powerful options:

• Hydroid Krasis one of the best creature spells around.
• Lava Coil premium 2 mana removal that exiles its target. Worth the sorcery speed for how much it answers.
• Kraul Harpooner a creature which can smite everything from a lowly un-adapted Pteromander, to Esper's Thief of Sanity to Niv-Mizzet, Parun himself.
• Negate and Disdainful Stroke These are probably the best sideboard cards in the format against control and reclamation, except for maybe the next card.
• Cindervines This lovely little enchantment straight up carries games 2 and 3 against reclamation and does decent work against esper, gates, and mono-blue.

My feeling of matchups so far is that:

• Esper, Mono-blue: about 45/55 for the other team. Post-sideboard things get a lot better for us, but game 1 is rough.
• Gruul: Pretty even matchup here which seems to fall to the draws a lot of the time.
• Reclamation/Gates: We are heavily favoured here. Our sideboard deals so well with them.
• Sultai Midrange: Sultai is pretty heavily favoured. I'm looking for possible sideboard options to maybe siphon some of my Reclamation/Gates win-rate into evening up this matchup.
• Mono-red/Drakes: We are heavily favoured here. They have a lot of trouble sticking creatures.
• Mono-white: Very tough here since we eschew Wildgrowth Walker and Merfolk Branchwalker . The deck can't achieve the board saturation to counter mono-white's nonsense. Fiery Cannonade is absolutely crucial here.

Combat Show

This list pulls heavily from the Gruul creature-base.

• Gruul Spellbreaker dies only to black/white removal spells and Lava Coil . Put a +1/+1 counter on these if you have Hadana's Climb   in hand or if you are facing up against aggro/a full board. Otherwise, take haste and swing in.

• Pelt Collector piles on the +1/+1 counters whenever we play our other critters, and then flies in with flying and trample with climb, or just beats handily.

• Growth-Chamber Guardian starts off as a bear, but becomes a major threat quickly if you can get a +1/+1 counter on it either with Hadana's Climb   or with its adapt activation (I find it is better to drop Hadana's to activate the tutor than to use the adapt unless your opponent has a 3/3).

• Jadelight Ranger helps with filtering and putting on pressure. Letting us clear through worthless draws and occasionally dropping Divination as an ETB effect is more than worth the include.

• Hydroid Krasis Draw cards, gain life, flying trample 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5, or 6/6+. The best part of Krasis is that it doesn't even need to resolve for its secondary effect. I usually sub this out against control for Cindervines and the extra Kraul Harpooner s.

Support Show

• Llanowar Elves I have tried the deck without it and the consistency and speed boost these guys provide is worth them being a dead draw later.

• Domri, Chaos Bringer is a very difficult card for control to deal with without direct removal. Drawing 2.5 threat cards a turn and the ability to put haste on Hydroid Krasis or a pumped Kraul Harpooner applies so much pressure

• Vivien Reid is probably the second-best planeswalker in standard after Teferi, Hero of Dominaria . Great draws in a 28 creature deck, answers for many threats in the meta, and a simply game-ending ultimate. Resolving Vivien on an empty board or a board in your favour is often a won game.

Disruption Show

• Lava Coil deals with just about anything worth killing. Use them aggressively, early, and often. Sideboard them out just as aggressively against Esper and Reclamation decks. Harpooner works just as well against the former and more counterspells work considerably better against the latter.

• Kraul Harpooner knocks stuff out of the sky, but also presents aggro pressure against many decks with its 3 power. Outstanding against pretty much every deck except creatureless reclamation nonsense where you'd much rather have Cindervines .

• Collision / Colossus trades up in combat, pressures control, and takes out fliers without needing an active graveyard.

Sideboard Show

• Banefire helps force through the last chunk of damage against control decks after they've stabilized and also allows direct planeswalker damage which the deck otherwise can't pull off. Don't save these if you can remove a creature early with one.

• Cindervines carries against reclamation with some applications against esper- though that matchup is mainly based on whether you can harpoon their Thief of Sanity s. Leaving the 1 generic up when a reclamation could pop up is crucial here.

• Disdainful Stroke eliminates Krasis, planeswalkers, and the occasional unprotected Explosion. Lots of serious stuff is happening at >4 mana and a lot of that is creature-based.

• Negate is worth keeping around since it deals with plenty of 3-CMC removal (mortify, cannonade) and counterspells.

• Fiery Cannonade is our answer to mono white/red's board saturation. Can handle some board states with Sultai and mono-blue as well. Keep in mind that Fanatical Firebrand is a pirate!
