Deck Description

This deck is based off the current Jeskai ascendancy model but I am looking to add a twist by using auras to trigger Jeskai Ascendancy rather than artifacts, instants or sorceries.

The goal is to use Triton Calvary to bounce 2 auras back and forth from your hand continuously triggering Jeskai Ascendancy.

I am debating the merits of the different enchantments in my side board as well as the creatures with interesting mechanics. Any input that you have on which creatures would be more beneficial when would be greatly appreciated.

For example, should I be playing goblin rabblemaster with hordeling outburst, for a more aggressive take, or seeker of the way with extra color protection around him?

Or is Bassara Tower archer a better call with hexproof mitigating the need for God's Willing and feat of resistance?

How about Karametra's favor to help ramp in the early game? If I am doing that is there a big beastie that would favorable play? Mistcutter Hydra, or Stormbreath dragon as examples?

A majority of the deck is set, but there is a little wiggle room that could wiggle a mile either way.

How to Play

There are two infinite loops both require Jeskai Ascendancy and come in the following two forms:

A. Triton Calvary:
Have in play Jeskai Ascension, Triton Calvary, and Sylvan Caryatid (or Rattle Claw mystic in its place)
1. Tap Sylvan Caryatid for R
2. Play Dragon Mantle on Triton Calvary.
3. Untap Sylvan Caryatid courtesy JA
4. Tap Sylvan Caryatid for R
5. Play Messenger's Speed on Triton Calvary
6. Return dragon mantle to hand.
7.Repeat 3-6 alternating between dragon mantle and Messenger's speed as many times as you want.

B. Retraction helix:
Have in play Jeskai Ascension, Sylvan Caryatid (or Rattle Claw mystic in its place), and a second creature, say Goblin Rabblemaster.
1. Tap Sylvan Caryatid for U
2. Play Retraction Helix on Goblin Rabblemaster.
3. Untap Sylvan Caryatid courtesy JA
4. Tap Sylvan Caryatid for R
5. Play Messenger's Speed on Triton Calvary
6. Untap Sylvan Caryatid courtesy JA
7. Tap Goblin Rabblemaster to return Messenger's Speed
8. Tap Sylvan Caryatid for R
9. Play Messenger's Speed
10. untap Goblin Rabblemaster and Sylvan Caryatid courtesy JA
11. Repeat 7-10 as many times you want.


How to very the deck around those combos I am unsure of.
