Deck Description

Ok, I need some help here. Info below.

This deck is going to be a present for my best friend for christmas.

Long story short, he recently had to sell about 90% of his magic cards due to financial woes and I want to keep him from quitting, so I'm trying to design him a decent / fun standard deck since that's mostly what we play. The other issue is I'm trying to keep in on the cheap, as I'm pretty broke myself.

So the conditions?

1. Standard format
2. I know, Mox Opal would be amazing.. I can't afford 3-4 right now.. so lets keep it on the cheap.

Any ideas?

I know this deck doesn't look very competitive, but I've actually been rather impressed with the results so far.

The red in the tempered steel/hawkward shell has actually been pretty awesome in testing. So far, control decks are the easiest matchup for this deck.. wolf run and red deck wins seem to be the most difficult to deal with. Not only that, this deck has a decent mid-late game with the Moltensteel Dragons and Jor-Kadeen. If you untap with Jor-Kadeen, you likely win. Valut Skirge makes him insane.

The sideboard is to help with the difficult matchups, which again are Wolf Run decks and RDW.

Good idea, but Squadron Hawk rotated out of Standard.. so that won't work! Thanks for the input tho! =)
