Mostly stolen from Sally. The plan is play mana dorks and card draw looking for Jeskai ascendancy. Once it's in play, you combo off either that turn or the next digging through your library building mana to crater's claw them to death. I've killed turn 4 fairly easily with this deck but you literally don't do anything without ascendancy around and you're really soft to agro.

Still draw engines like this are worth investigating.

Seems like a great FNM deck. If it had a 2nd engine card I'd like it a hell of a lot more. Still if slow midrange durdle decks are the rage this could be an interesting angle to take.

It's definitely something to keep an eye on.

When it's going off, it feels like you've cast Ancestrall recall, pyromancers ascenscions, past in flames, and Tendrils.

There's so much enchantment hate cards in the upcoming Standard than relying on just Jeskai Ascendancy feels very questionable. Even Mardu have access to two easily castable instant exile target enchantment cards (Deicide and Erase). Still, looks like a decent deck in an unknown meta, will take people by surprise. Have to keep this deck in mind, since the engine is powerful.

How do you generate enough mana to kill someone with Crater's Claw? I understand this untaping stuff, however you need to have ~3 dorks to genarate between 1-2 mana every spell.

[Tyrael]

Well, Mystic generates 4 mana when you morph it so there's that

[Platypus]

Apparently there's a turn 2 kill combo available with Jeskai Ascendancy as well, but that one is very magic christmasland.

Turn 2 kill

Played around with this a bit earlier

Its hilarious and fun but I think it needs a few negates or something to protect you from that removal they go for when you swing in with a giant guy

[zenbitz]

I think it works with any 0 cost non artifact instead of Cornucopia, right? Tormud's Crypt or Briber's Purse X=0.

[Platypus]

Yes, any 0 CC non-Artifact Creature will do.

[NotARobot]

Theres a version of this all over running burning anger as the kill condition... its definitely a lot of fun on your hexproof dudes.

[zenbitz]

Ha, props for burning anger on and infintely pumped sylvan cartyid. I stopped thinking about burning anger because, you know, 5 drop aura.
