Temur Aggro Standard Deck Tech - Dragons of Tarkir - MTG!

[@TheThephoneguyusa]

Pretty close to my deck now. Can't wait to test it at the next FNM!

[@88Hyo]

Seeing the word "Aggro" in pretty much every top 8 makes me so happy

[@Axemsmash]

I played Mardu Dragons. Did pretty well with it. Crackling Doom is just so good right now. Coupled with Foul-tongued Invocation and you get rid of Thunderbreaks without taking any damage for it.

[@jujutherabbit8061]

For the record: Turn 2 Knuckleblade is one of the best feelings ever. Also...FOR THE FRONTIER! I'm considering taking my Temur Midrange and turn it into Aggro. It'd probably do better in my local meta. Only thing I need is a full playset of Thunderbreak and Rabblemasters. Nice deck tech. Seeing the old bear-punchers gettin' some love is always great!

[@michaelgiugliarelli8013]

Kuro the Rabbit I agree, turn 2 Knuckleblade, or turn 3 hasted Knuckleblade is the best. You feel like a boss, especially when a 2nd one follows the turn after, or if you follow it with a Surrak, the Hunt Caller.

[@mlgtoenayl6682]

Kuro the Rabbit I spent $60 on the day they started dropping :(

[@mlgtoenayl6682]

MLG ToeNayl i mean on rabblemasters

[@TheRadikarAuthor]

At my local gaming store, Abzahn Control and Mono-Red Aggro rule the meta. Esper Control and Jeskai Control are slowly reaching their way to the top lately, though. I have stored up cards for a decent Temur deck for a while now, hoping one day it'll pay off. This decklist holds promise. I have 2x Sarkhan Unbroken, though... and I really like what he does in our meta. I'll consider modifying after I get a feel for the deck. Lastly, I gotta say: I really like that you give commentary about how to sideboard properly, what thoughts to consider when deciding to mulligan, and what match-ups I should be wary of. It's definitely more thorough than most deck tech videos I've seen, where they simply say "These cards for aggro, these cards for control, these cards for mirror, etc." :)

[@xanaxkamikaze]

Oh yeah buddy! It's a new video! Sweet!

[@Stitchington]

I ended up running a playset of Shaman of the Great Hunt at that time, and that was a really good card.

[@HeroesandLegendsMTG1]

Thanks Wedge, great deck tech.

[@meownezz]

I chose to also run a Temur deck this gameday. Was able to almost win but got shot short at the 3rd round of playoffs. My build makes use of more mana creatures (3 rattleclaw mystics) and more than 10 non Creature spells, which included Temur charm, mainboard stubborn denial Sarkhan Unbroken (card advantage and dragon tokens) and a 1 of hour of need (mana dorks late game still get to contribute). I like the tempo based strategy a bit better than the aggro build because I find it more versatile, also with the presence of too many control decks.

[@hentiesenpie6777]

I played Green/White midrange at my game day. The Eidolon of Rhetoric being my unintentional win condition. I got knocked out in the semifinals for a fourth place finish. Earned me 6 boosters, and a promo thunderbreak regent (if they arrive, they haven't yet.)

[@Raaanch]

I was working game day, like a sucker. I never thought to play Temur, personally but this is a pretty nice build and it's not too bad on the wallet either! Great stuff!

[@boktor666]

Raaanch I beg to differ on that one Ranchy :/ Rabblemaster prices are quite high, so is the Regent, let alone the lands... The rest of the cards is quite affordable though (although I have like 3/4ths of the deck ready, the missing pieces make it's price go either 2x of 3x original price)

[@Raaanch]

boktor666 I should have elaborated. Compared to other "tier 1" decks. it's quite cheap. lol

[@boktor666]

That I can totally agree with :)

[@TheMyztery789]

Thanks wedge needed this

[@Brotherwarior]

I saw BBD used Collected company in a Temur Aggro deck on a versus video from SCG. Maaan, that looked powerful :D

[@brianwise5850]

I would love to see a couple of white/black warrior deck techs, cause secure the waste is just awesome. And white/black is pretty good at both removal and control.

[@musunator]

Funny you say that I won game day yesterday with a cobbled together b/w warriors deck ill try to post a link

[@l_scanu8645]

Brian Wise Check out Absolute mtgs bw warriors deck, its quite good.

[@musunator]

tappedout.net/mtg-decks/21-04-15-pRy-bw-warriors/?cat=cost this is the B/W warriors deck i won game day with

[@DarthJacobi]

I like the idea of splashing red in for impact tremors with secure the waste.

[@LordLightning764]

I played my Temur deck at Game Day and I placed in 6th. I don't play the Rabblemasters and there's no way I'm investing in them either, but I like this deck. I was thinking of making just RG, but having the counterspells in sideboard is really nice.

[@chorong1e327]

Good job! Though a few cards may be rotating out of standard doh.

[@TheUberTyphlosion]

The longer I look at the green mana symbol the more and more I am sure its actually a piece of broccoli and not a tree...

[@Martician]

What have you done Dx can't unseen it now

[@ceracen]

Kyle Tillitt Well considering the fact that broccoli looks like tiny trees I'd say that's accurate.

[@swilliam7864]

Dear Wedge, I am a magic player who frequently goes to my local game store for FNM. My decks are usually homebrews in a format where netdecking is very common. I don't completely ignore the metagame however, in fact I am very conscious of what is powerful in standard and what isn't. I am always trying to improve my deck, and actually am very happy when I lose or something doesn't turn out the way I expected. My best record at FNM was 3-2 but I normally finish 2-3. I feel that deck building is one of my strong suits and I use that to my advantage. My question is: What are your thoughts on home brewing and do you have any tips? I feel like standard has lost it's originality and I feel that it has become very easy to win by using the internet. For a player that made a deck from standard cards I had sitting around in a box, I feel like a did pretty well. P.S. my deck is blue/red aggro.

[@YitauN]

Hi Wedge! I'd love to see a budget-ish option for modern. I was thinking about Rakdos aggro or something similar, so if you could make a video that would be great!

[@LetsLapse]

May i ask why you pick ashcloud phoenix over a fourth thunderbreak regent or another surrak?

[@ThePillowFort]

FIRST!?!?!? DEAR GOD IM FIRST. I'D LIKE TO THANK WEDGE FOR ALWAYS BELIEVING IN ME.

[@jujutherabbit8061]

The Pillow Fort You did it hot mom!

[@ThePillowFort]

Kuro the Rabbit THANK YOU MR. RABBIT

[@BBBBBBB-j2c]

It might be nice to include deck price at the time of posting. Helps people that may want to buy.

[@jumbosrooster5306]

is there a updated version of this list for bfz standard?

[@MrMasonics]

I played white weenie splashing green for warden of the first tree and dromoka's command I got to top 4 at game day so I would say it did pretty well

[@ethanwiggen3567]

I love it!if only confluence and regent were cheaper

[@shooflies]

hey I know its random but I just got a commander and im looking into cards well its riku and riku is in these colors. anyways im wondering if you could point me in the right direction so far im going with a couple cipher, some cards to put creatures on the battlefield and some creatures that copy other creatures anything in this direction I can play without having the table thrown at me?

[@mayasartcorner3192]

I like this deck. A lot.

[@ItsJustCams]

Hey Wedge, watching this for the second time. Game day for me both days were broad on the expectations. I've tried a botch version of mono U and though I did make the top 8 it just doesn't seem as powerful as before. Trying a different version and testing for the next couple of FNM's but thats not the important part. The important part was the significantly more fruitful with Temur aggro. I made top 4 and got beat out by Abzan aggro. Besting Abzan control, Something Jeskai midrangeish, and then RWBU control. I think its when people plan out to be control decks or to beat control decks, Temur aggro fits right in the middle for a decent match up against pretty much any deck. I still believe in main deck Stubborn Denial's but temur charm and ascendacy have finally came out of my build for the better. (I ran them main board for the long game mini slingshot) Also I Play 3 Stormbreath, metas are different every but stormbreath is a 4/4 with hast and protection from white. Asides from that I completely agrree with everything.

[@neo8469]

I played w/u heroic and narrowly slipped into top 8 where I beat a monk red deck that was seated 1st so I felt good, then I threw a jeskai control list, what do u think a good jeskai control list would take I would love to see a deck tech from you on your take on it

[@27adf]

Hey wedge I ran naya Dragons and did the same. I went undefeated in the first three rounds and then lost to agro red in the finals. Now I know what I should add to my side board. Barrage of boulders lol

[@alexandermusser8434]

lol roast is like "in case of siege rhino, break glass"

[@bomb-de-dyl]

The land base alone is worth more than most of my decks. Any slightly more cheaper options?

[@ZeroTradeinValueProductions]

Solid deck , I've been trying to make a Mardu deck using Seeker of the way and monastery swiftspear. So far it has not been successful lol. Do you have any advice on how to make a mardu aggro deck better ?

[@shadoobieone2192]

Dommercoolstuff butcher of the horde, goblin rabblemaster, dragon fodder/hordeling outburst, bloodsoaked champion, brutal hordechief, possibly even citadel siege (its that good)

[@ZeroTradeinValueProductions]

thatmtgkid Thanks for the advice , probably gonna add in some bloodsoaked champions in the mix

[@hammdogporkington3058]

Dommercoolstuff Wild Slash, Lightning Strike and Stoke for the burn spells. Bile Blight, Downfall and Murderous Cut are all pretty interchangeable between main and sideboard, but you'll want some form of removal. For creature threats: Butcher, Rabblemaster, Bloodsoaked Champion and Seeker of the Way can create huge early pressure, which is exactly what you'll want to be doing. At the top-end, Sarkhan and Wingmate Roc can close the door on your opponent pretty quickly. Finally, Chandra, Sorin and Hordeling Outburst are flexible cards that can be an engine of their own or support your other threats.

[@baj427]

TheManaSource, can you do a Naya Dragons deck tech?

[@trentsims]

minus the dragons this is basically my standard deck. I run four rattleclaw mystic's and a few Sagu Mauler's. Sagu Mauler is a complete monster since a 6/6 trample that that is nearly impossible to remove is just good. Even if they have a board wipe it is very easy post side board to prevent them. Also having more than one vastly different morph in the deck keeps my opponents guessing. Rattleclaw also helps when my mana base is giving my trouble since I can morph Rattleclaw down for 3 colorless and start fixing right away.

[@Slammy0523]

can you do a Gruul Aggro standard deck tech ?

[@ridin_low193]

Waiting on the B/W warriors deck teck plz & thanks!

[@johnskyjohn45]

I absolutely agree with this deck but I can't resist the temptation of crucibles in standard... Or I'd be running the same... Maybe with a mainboard of stubborn denials and maybe even trade out some heirs for den protectors

[@theheroclixvillian]

Pretty cool. But what about temur dragons? I made a temur dragons deck myself 24 Lands 3 Frontier Bivouacs(g/u/r) 2 Havens Of the Spirit Dragon 7 Forests 6 mountains 6 Islands 23 Creatures 3 Embodiment of Spring(u)[1] 4 Slyvana Cartids(g)[2] 4 Dragon servants(r)[2] 3 Thunderbreak Regents(r)[4] 1 icefall regents(u)[5] 2 Belltole dragons(u)[6] 2 Xenagos,God Of Revels(r/g)[5] 1 Stormbreath Dragon(r)[5] 2 Foe-Razor Regents(g)[7] 1 Dragonlord Atarka(r/g)[7] 13 Other Spells 2 Sarkhan, The Unbound(g/u/r)[5] 3 Stubborn Denials(u)[1] 3 Savage Punchs(g)[2] 2 Atarkas commands(r/g)[2] 3 Temur Charms(g/u/r)

[@nocont1nu312]

been a while since iv seen a Tommy Hilfiger shirt! looks sharp tho, keep doing these cool vids!

[@TheRubsi]

what do you guys think about shaman of the great hunt?

[@AlunBridges]

I played Green/Red walker ramp, won on game win percentage, there was only a few of us playing though.

[@TisUnfortunate]

Good cards are monastery swift spear, and stratus dancer

[@axelmadenfalk332]

Can you make a strength from the fallen deck

[@cloroxbleach6673]

I took 2 dig thew times, a play set of sylvan caryatids. 2 sarkhan the unbroken and 2 dragonlord atarka

[@GingerSpooky]

you should use tapped out for the decklist, for an easier way to check it ou

[@GingerSpooky]

Daniel Manderville out

[@hedronsquid]

I played Jeskai Ascendancy Combo and went 1-4. Sure, the losses sucked, but the deck was fun to play, and my one win was against Selesnya Devotion. So, I was happy.

[@ellahazan-fuchs7249]

Finaly a deck that runs Feed the Clan! (if you see "walking the planes", they say it's the worst spell ever. But that's WRONG!)

[@dishonored-legacy8096]

Hey Wedge, Modern infect deck-tech? Please :D

[@deathdartz7473]

I used a silumgar graveyard at the pre release

[@90spepe]

No love for Sarkhan Unbroken? =( Love this deck by the way. Been playing Temur ever since it got out! Thanks for all the advice man!

[@Xippih]

Played Abzan Control, and it went horribly. Round 1 i mulliganed down to 5 cards each game due to having no lands in hand, 2nd round i fought Jeskai ascendancy combo so that was almost an instantneous loss. In round 3 i mulliganed down to 6 two times and 5 once due to only getting one land in each hand. Round 4 is the only round i won 2-0 but still mulliganed down to 5. Note that i am playing 26 lands :(

[@Flashpoint3373]

I played UW control at game day and was SOOOOOO close to beating the best player in the store.

[@JuletzMusic]

MTGElite33 I also have a UW control deck that almost won me my first gameday (Fate Reforged). UW for life dude! :D

[@juuzousuzuya3154]

Nice.

[@shalad5889]

i got Sarkhan Unbroken planeswalker, not sure what i should build

A house of cards

[@fxust383]

hmm. a temur dragon deck. I could post a modern temur dragon deck list.

im running whindstorm in my sidebord for the hard to kill flyers

[@aaron9797]

i needed something that did not target for thunderbreak regent and it also works well for the silmugar and ojutai with hexproof

[@Small_Panda]

Aaron Kenyon HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS CARD! I don't know how many times my green devo deck loses because you know flying, their aren't enough arbor colossus in a deck to stop rg dragons.

[@younghovcollect]

I played G/W Devotion and went undefeated until top four with a final record of 5/1/2 but oh well, can't win them all p.s. if you are a g/w player and are thinking about deathmist and den protector, definitely run them, they are op

[@jackvanhoof2538]

you should do a red dragon deck

[@SatoNara]

Well, I wanted to go with my mono blue devotion deck. Sadly as a collage student I lack money to buy a playset of shorecrashers and noone in my local cardshop wanted to sell me the uncommons I needed, so sadly I didn't event went to the event ...

[@tomjackson5093]

CardMasterScorpion Having a deck idea and not having the money to buy the cards as a student. I know that feel.

[@BanditDil210]

Mardu dragons please!

[@Genderkaiser]

If it were me I'd play the pair of Shaman Of The Great Hunt that I own (I'm poor, okay?) because I love the idea of a threat that makes everything else more threatening and can give you more threats during topdeck mode.

[@sf9ersfan33]

Yea I run it as a 3 of in my Temur deck. Very good against control decks as a hasty threat that gets bigger each passing turn. Also gives some late game card advantage.

[@riskae_]

It was very painful for me to cut my shamans. I love what the card does when you have a board or get him out early, but with that 2 toughness you typically only will have him around for one turn :( thunderbreak just has so much more potential to stick around and deal consistent damage. I dunno, I suppose it depends on the meta you play as well. Tons of people are on mono red at my shop, so shaman just died way too much for my liking..

[@tomjackson5093]

I like this deck, but in my own sole opinion, I think it has some room for improval. My advise, cut blue. I don't see the reason to run blue solely for Savage knuckleblade, Frost walker and Stubborn denial. There are enough good red and green aggressive creature spells in standard right now to cut blue entirely and make the mana base more efficient. Also, I would run 4 copies of Surrak, the hunt caller. If you play Boon satyr turn 2 off of an elvish mystic and Surrak turn 3, you would swing for 9 on turn 3. That's right, 9. If you can do that on the play you are very likely to just win the game, and you should always aim to maximise the possibility to be able to pull it off. If you run 4 copies of Rabblemaster and Boon Satyr(which you should), you are actually quite likely to pull this synergy off. Also, if you're up against UB control, you typically don't want to side in protection against removal because you can't really race it. You would much rather put more pressure on your opponent before you give them enough time to get enough lands, card advantage and removal to stabilize. As a control player myself, I lose more often against aggro decks being more aggressive after sideboard than I lose against aggro decks siding in slow protection and counter-answers. Anyways, I would like to hear your opinion on this wedge, and as always, great vid.

[@tomjackson5093]

***** You want to end the game before your opponent even has the time to cast board wipes. Counterspells are only good in an aggro deck if you already have many creatures on the board and you want to protect them. In other words, it's very situational. You don't want to draw a counterspell in your opening hand or before you have enough board presence. You risk not playing enough threats, thus putting your opponent at an advantage.

[@sf9ersfan33]

A legendary creature as a 4 of? I don't see hardly G/R aggressive or midrange strategies with him as a 4 of. Pretty terrible if you draw multiples. I disagree a lot with cutting the blue from the deck. You aren't playing mono red, you're playing Temur aggro. You'll almost never kill a control player by the time they would have up 5 mana for a board wipe like Crux of Fate or End Hostilities. Even in your perfect scenario of swinging for 9 on turn 3, you would also have to be on the play and even then, one ultimate price or Silumgars scorn completely ruins your day. Scorn is way too good way too early to let you go underneath easily with a Temur deck. But countering their turn 5 crux of fate with a stubborn denial pretty much instantly wins the game.

[@methuselahh_]

i think it needs an atarka and a sarkahn unbroken in the sideboard

[@JessicaZane4realz]

It seems like almost every deck in Standard is Aggro.

[@ItsJustCams]

#FORTEMURICA

[@BokuNoShousetsu]

I'm horribly sad that i can't seem to find a Unbroken deck that is putting out good numbers when Mr Unbroken himself is such a good card, especially when combined with Courser of Kruphix. The potential to essentially draw three cards a turn is super powerful. Sad times, but i'm going to keep working on it :/

[@TheMetalGamer66]

[@dane24357]

I won my game day event playing black red dragons.

[@ProtagonistOfficial]

I don't like temur aggro that much because you end up losing to more aggressive deck. Sure you have barrage of boulders but you want to be playing anger, which you can't do if you are running this variant. I have been having a lot of success with a more midrangy variant if you are interested. tappedout.net/mtg-decks/31-03-15-xde-hear-me-roar/

I hate how loud the intro tune is.

[@Ratstail91]

Standard seems way too slow, so I'm running red deck wins, and it fucking rocks: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/20-red-deck-wins/ For that Temur deck, if you hit 6 lands, you win, but my deck wins well before turn 6...

[@michaelgiugliarelli8013]

Ratstail91 Not a fan at all. It's just too inconsistent. When it runs, sure, you'll win by turn 6, but even Temur has more consistency than your list, and Temur is known to usually be really inconsistent.

[@Drak8492]

Gathering Magic, another magic channel, already did this exact deck tech by copying it right out of the pro tour list. Could've at least done a different one out of the list. Seems lazy.
