I'm sure you have all heard about the temur ascendacy combo deck for standard. I am wondering if you guys think it is playable and consistant enough for competitive play. As well as its good and or bad matchups.
I'm trying to think of a combo for it and do see much. What is the combo?
{Temur Ascensancy} + {Temur Sabertooth} + {Karametras Acolyte} + something to do with infinite Mana
Or {Singing bell Strike} with Kar. Acolyte
And tbh i doubt that it'll be a good deck bc to me the reason why it did so well was bc it was very unexpected!!
Dies to bile blight
Also just {voyaging satyr} and {Nykthos shrine to nyx} works instead of acolyte. I think it could be quite competitive. If it doesn't go off, it's still just a good green devotion list. It's a proven deck that has an added aspect of "oops I win"
They also run bounce spells you don't need the sabertooth. I've seen it go off live next to me at a ptq on turn 4. It was really sweet. That deck took like tenth or eleventh and just missed top 8.
Ya don't get me wrong it's sick but I just feel like it only did so well bc it was unexpected :P as a proud member of Team Janky Johnny I hope it's a thing!!

The combo is:
{Voyaging Saytr}
{Nykthos Shrune to Nyx}
{Temur Sabertooth}
{Temur ascendacy}
You also run 4 {genesis hydras}
How this works is: you have enough devotion to get at atleast 7 mana wth nykthos, then you tap to get the mana, bounce VS back to your hand with the saberrtooth, cast it, tap it then u tap nykthos using 2 of your 3 mana floating, to generate infinite mana. You then find nylea, iether genesis for your whole deck for her ir just cast her, the pump your creatures infinitely with her then attack!
I played combo friday but instead of running a bunch of pain lands and temur ascensancy I ran it red green and used hammer of purphoros
It made the combo a secondary win condition and allowed a stronger Devo green build my record was 3-1 and the meta at my shop are all mtg top 8 decks

I like this much better is it possible to see a list?
I think it's a very competitive deck and looks like a lot of fun. I love decks like that. Unfortunately I only have to say two words [ deflecting palm].
