In Fate Reforged standard, this deck is nigh unstoppable.


There are lots of creatures with 2 or less toughness be played in Standard right now. With Altac Bloodseeker, Searing Blood, and Arc Lightning, this deck feeds off them.
If they don't play any? That's fine. "Give" them one with Humble Defector.
Satyr Firedancer means I don't have to choose between burn to face or removing a creature. Two Satyr Firedancers mean nothing is out of range.

Titan's Strength and Monastery Swiftspears punch damage early and fast, or late and fast. ;) Titan's Strength also extends the reach of creatures for a low cost.
So if they play stuff early, they lose.
If they don't play stuff early, they lose.


The biggest problems for the deck are Drown in Sorrow, Anger of the Gods, and Siege Rhino / Whip suite.
Rabblemaster and Chandra go in vs those control-ish decks that want to wipe your early board. Chandra for obvious reasons, but Rabblemaster because he single-handedly gives a board presence, and that's how you play with him.
Arcbond takes care of anything that's too big. And usually wins the game while it does it.
Phyrexian Revoker is an allstar sideboard. It foremost nerfs mana dorks, so you don't have to "waste" burn on them before you want to (so you can power up a hasted Altac Bloodseeker next turn, or get Satyr Firedancer for card advantage, for example). You keep the tempo with a 2/1 body and they don't pull ahead. It very importantly nerfs that hexproof Caryatid. It also handicaps Whip of Erebos, Savage Knuckleblade, Polukranos, and Mardu Ascendancy, and completely neuters any planeswalker.
And torch fiend is there because screw that Whip.


We'll see how it goes moving into Dragons of Tarkir. But for Fate Reforged, this deck is King.
