Deck Description

A deck, focusing on tokens and on the effect of Jeskai ascendancy. Originally, when the first cards of KTK was spoiled, i really loved the idea of jeskai as some kind of izzet-based clan. I later found out, that I liked their ability to produce cheap and fast tokens better.

How to Play

I was really trying to keep this deck budget (that means <40$ in 'lowest estimate'), which means that it's not as fast it could have been (due to the fact, that fetch-lands is a no-no in a budget standard).This is also the reason for only includning 2xsecure the wastes instead of the full playset. Normally I'm not that big of a fan of standard, but here goes:

I'd mulligan any hand, starting with a treasure cruise. Filling up your graveyard won't be a problem, playing non-creature spells as much as possible. While it's really nice playing non-creature spells and benefiting from the ascendancy, don't be greedy and wait for it, unless you have it in your opening hand. Mulligan if you're missing more that one color! Definitely mulligan if that color is red ;) If missing blue, keep your hand - it'll come, and you wont need it before turn 3 or possibly 4. Aside from that, time your spells during the combatstep to gain-pseudo vigilance, get +1 for your tokens, and suprise by doubling the damage....

My biggest concern is the sideboard and what to take out, and generally how to get the deck to work faster, without making it more expensive... Any suggestions will be welcomed.
