I don't know too much about the current standard meta game, but why no rabblemasters in the Mardu deck?

i started off with rabble in...but after testing there is just to much removal in the current meta...pulled the rabblermasters for stormbreaths and the deck seems to run much better...i think rabblemaster is great for aggro but i feel he's over hyped for other archtypes

Can you hose down azzman, jeskai and green devotion? The deck that does that should be the iq deck, you will want to be able to overcome current meta

only thing ive tested vs anything in the current meta really is the mardu...it seems good (especially post sideboard) vs jeskai and abzan but havent tried it vs green devotion as of yet

Well whatever you feel most comfortable with should be your deck.

After that whatever has good matchups vs Abzan and Jeskai tempo
