Fun With Chord of Calling

I ended up second @ the 'Magic the Gathering - Khans of Tarkir Game Day!'. Played 5 games, there where 17 competitors.
1st game: Against Abzan Midrange. It was a 1:1 draw
2nd game: Against Jeskai Tempo. It was 2:1 for me.
3th game: Against Mardu Aggro. It was 2:1 for me.
4th game: Against Jeskai Tempo. It was 2:1 for me.
5th game(final): Against Abzan Midrange. I lost 0:2.

In the final I got finished both games because of Herald of Torment got bestowed on Siege Rhino and I didn't have an answer to that. I actually think if that wouldn't have happened I had a pretty good chance of winning.

Pretty simpel. First 2 turns u use for mana ramp. Then you start to cast big monsters. You use the Chord of Calling for cards like:
- Hornet Nest, trow before big hitter
- Arbor Colossus, against flying
- Hornet Queen, this really wins games
- Reclamation Sage, against Enchantment of Artifact
- Nylea, this also wins games
- or Nylea's Disciple, to gain life

Few things that I learned in the 2-3 months playing with this deck. Don't be hasty. Do your mana ramp and then watch your opponent. A Polukranos that is getting countered is never fun. Just cast stuff when your opponent is tapped out. If you are not playing against a deck with counterspells just cast offcourse.

A few rotations that I really like:
- Best thing for this deck is a turn 3 Prophet. If that is not getting countered you are probably gonna win :) . If you can cast a Yisan on the following turn of your opponent and you also have a Kiora's follower out you are in for some fun ;)
- Turn 3 Polukranos is always good
- Trowing a Hornet Nest before a semi big rabblemaster or a Doomwake Giant is always fun :)
- Having a Prophet out, then cast Sagu Mauler on your opponents turn Morphed and then turning it on your next turn is also pretty amazing :D
