The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

This is a fine deck. I like it, it's neat, and it's fun. The only real problem is that in it's current form, it's both a worse aggressive deck than my Rally deck, and a worse midrange/combo deck than pretty much all of my other decks. I've had thoughts of making it a Jeskai Dragons deck, an Esper Dragon deck, a Soulfire Grand Master deck, etc., but none of it seems quite right.

Thoughts would be appreciated.

Deck discussion for The Monastery (SG)

Obviously what you change depends on which way you want to take the deck. The Ascendancy makes it feel more like a mid-range deck to me than aggro. To me it feels like your current list is mostly aggro and since you aren't playing aggressively you end up saving your cards until you get one turn where you can go off.

If you wanna go midrange you could swap in more control oriented spells like Wild Slash, Reality Shift, Icy Blast, Anticipate, maybe throw in some counterspells. You could go slightly less creatures even, Monastery Mentor should hopefully be enough to build your board. Another curve topping option is Soulblade Djinn, a 4/3 flyer with a similar ability as the first part of Ascendancy. There is always Narset, Enlightened Master as a finisher as well if you go midrange.

If you wanted to go more Aggro I'd put in Swiftspears over Ojutai and Pacifism.
