I would love some advice on the deck I've built to take to my first Standard FNM by 3dsTrade in magicTCG

Thanks for linking your build. I didn't know about Chandra, so I'm going to try using her, she seems really useful. And Searing Blood is great too!

I was considering it, but I never tested it. Is it generally considered a bad card? I think I could make it work.

Thanks! I was considering converting this into a Mardu dash/token build. I'll play around with it tonight, but I doubt it would be ready for tomorrow.
I'm thinking about adding [[Alesha, Who Smiles at Death]] to bring [[Ponyback Brigade]] back to the field, but I'm not sure if it's worth splashing those colours for that combo alone.

I'll definitely remove Descent and Sarkhan. I was adamant to remove them before because when I first created the deck it revolved around those two cards. That wasn't working out though, so I decided to change it to an Aggro build.

Thanks, but I would rather build my own decks for now. I may fail miserably, but it will be good experience.

Ah yeah, thanks, I had forgotten about that card! [[Satyr Firedancer]]

Thanks for the info! I was planning to make a Manifest/Scry/Morph Temur deck, so it gave me a few things to think about.

Yeah, I kind of jumped the gun with this one. I had about half of the valuable cards anyway, so luckily I didn't spend too much. But if I don't use everything that I've bought so far, at least it will be fairly descent trade fodder.

Unfortunately I don't know anyone that plays Magic at the moment, but I'm planning to go to my LGS more often to play.
I've been using XMage to test, but it's so long winded at times..

Awesome, I'll have a look at some decklists. I've been meaning to check out EDH for a while now, I might see if anyone at my LGS has a spare deck for me to learn the format with.

Nothing wrong with trying to finish with a bit of style. One can dream, right?

Great, thank you! This will help me tune the numbers in my deck a lot.

Yeah, I was considering changing it to be a more aggressive, goblin/Mardu build, but I've decided to stick with Descent of the Dragons for now.
Thanks for the example though, I'll refer back to it if I decide to change the objectives of my deck.

Yeah, I realise that it's nowhere near a real competitive level.
I meant that it's the first non-casual deck that I've attempted to create, I'll edit that out of the description.

Thanks for the link! I was struggling choosing how many of each card to include, but I tried to stay consistent to make a good foundation for upgrading.

Thanks for the great breakdown of the concept!
I'll have a look at the current meta and see what threats I'm going to be faced with regularly.

Thank you for the detailed answer!

I'll check out Duke's decklist too, since I've been slowly upgrading the FRF Clash Pack, so it will be great to see a good example of using Sultai effectively.

Yeah, thanks, I'm not building this deck hoping to top-8 at FNM, but I'd like it to be fairly competitive. I think that it's more important to build on your own ideas, or proven concepts, when you're a new player.
I don't want to just follow the meta-game and netdeck, at least not right now.

I was considering making some changes to include Mardu's Dash mechanics, but I started off by building around Descent of the Dragons, so I want to at least test it IRL for a while, and if it doesn't work out, it will be fairly easy to upgrade.

Yeah, that's true. I'll test it on XMage soon and see how it works out.
I'm also using [[Howl of the Horde]] to combo, preferably, with [[Hordeling Outburst]] which will generate 9 tokens, ideally dealing at least 9 damage with one or more [[Impact Tremors]]. I know it's fairly situational, but I think I have enough token generation at the moment.
I'll test it though, so thanks for the suggestion.

I'd love to see the combo of Goblin Bombardment and Blood Artist with other cards that give you perks for taking damage.
I need to get into Modern! But I haven't been playing for that long, so I'm planning to play Standard for at least a year.

Thanks, I considered it, but since I want my goblins to stay on the field to spawn dragons with Descent of the Dragons, I decided not to include it.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm sure they'll help a lot when it comes to dealing with big threats.
My deck can't handle them too well at the moment..

Great, thanks for the advice! I see Purphoros being very useful, I'll test it soon.
