Yeah, that was unfortunate. I have redone this deck but I don't have it shared. It's certainly better with the Copters. Here is the URL: http://www.mtgvault.com/nathangw/decks/budget-standard-emergeaggro-3/

Deck of the day on Daily Magic Update! :)http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/daily-magic-update/update-2016-12-01
Yeah, my constraints of $20 and not winning by damage make it extra tough. Your deck looks pretty good, and having Dromoka is a big help. I really didn't think much about the recurring small gainers like Jaddi Offshoot and Retreat to Kazandu, but those are effective especially with Alhammaret's Archive.
Cool, I like it. The synergy between Student of Ojutai and the other spells is nice, and I also like how the repeatable effects like Student and Retreat interact with Alhammaret's Archive.
I added some options in the sideboard and described them in how to play. I don't think they're quite as good as the 3 cards that are dropping from Standard, but I'm sure Battle for Zendikar will bring some other options also. Or you can increase the number of some cards already in the deck. I'll leave it to you to decide the best mix. Anyone who has tried this deck, I am curious how it performed!
Yeah, probably so -- there aren't many things that need replaced. Thanks for the compliment!
You're welcome -- I haven't played it, so it's all theoretical. But I think Willbreaker can be really powerful if you can keep it alive.
Replaced Behemoth and 1 Efreet with Ire Shaman for better mana curve.
I made a few changes based on comments from friends. Avatar of the Resolute and Ainok Bond-Kin in place of the Ainok Guides, and a little different mana base. It's probably a little slow, and could replace Duneblast for speed, but Duneblast is too cool.
