Need suggestions, the deck seems like it's missing something.

Why {Sealock Monster}?

[Kaalia with haste]

UR isn't the best token route IMO. I'd probably go with WBR or WB, but if you go with WB then you lose purphoros so....

I feel like there would be too much set up for it. The mardu colors would work best for it. If you are looking for the swarm tactic then I would consider the {spear of heliod} and {trumpet blast} for nice blasts of damage. {Raise the alarm}, {mardu charm} etc will help give you tokens as well. Just be careful.

Yea I'd cut blue and {generator servant} and go red white tokens. {raise the alarm} is great, and you get to play {seeker of the way} and trigger prowess with all your token spells. You could play {spear of heliod}, {hall of triumph}, or {obelisk of urd}. Not all three likely but some combination would prolly be good. The thing that's great about {obelisk of urd}, is you can use the goblins you just cast from {hordeling outburst} to convoke and then next turn have large fatties beating face.

Need draw spells for your chasm stalker.  Dig through time or treasure cruise could boost him real quick.

Not that {dig through time} does not interact with {chasm skulker} since your not drawing cards.

{Dig Through Time} doesn't draw cards. It puts them into your hand.

There is an amazing deck called Jeskai Tokens. The plan is simple.

{Jeskai Ascendancy} doesn't exactly work well with creatures, as you want to be casting non-creatures to trigger it. That's where {Hordling Outburst}, {Raise the Alarm} and such come in.

I think the official list runs 4x {Goblin Rabblemaster} and 4x {Seeker of the Way}. Not sure. I'd for sure run;

4x {Goblin Rabblemaster}: Generates tokens and is a tried and true horribly awful card to play against.

4x {Chasm Skulker}: Looting off Ascendancy would be fantastic with this. Me like. Kinda needs a way to pop it but idk...Might be a two of with the other two in sideboard vs control and such.

3x {Purphoros, God of the Forge}: Might want to cut it down but idk.

4x {Hordling Outburst}: Three mana for three 1/1s. Purphoros out that's 6 damage. Yikes.

4x {Raise the Alarm}: Value.

19 "creatures"

4x {Jeskai Ascendancy}: Pump tokens, pump {Chasm Skulker}, filter through deck and fuel {Treasure Cruise}. Win, win, win.

4x {Stoke the Flames}: With all the creatures you're pumping out this should be easily freecast able. Then you get to untap if {Jeskai Ascendancy} is out.

4x {Jeskai Charm}: Finisher, anthem effect or tuck. (Respond to fetches!)

4x {Treasure Cruise}: I think it belongs in this kind of a deck.

Then I'd look at these to fill the extra slots.

{Defiant Strike}: Cantripping.

{Triplicate Spirits}: Dunno if this is good enough but it seems like it could be. Maybe.

{Goblin Slide}: Yes I'm serious. If Purphoros is out it's a pretty sick card. Otherwise idk.

If you stick to the cards I'm thinking of you could get away with 22 lands, maybe even less. Your biggest hardcast is {Purphoros, God of the Forge} and he's only four mana. With Ascendancy out you can filter those lands when you need them or not from casting spells, but if you're trying to chain {Treasure Cruise}s you don't want to have that many land in your way.

The "official" list does not run {Chasm Skulker} and I think that is an absolutely brilliant card for this deck. I've played against the "official" list a few times and it is an extremely deadly deck that abuses {Jeskai Ascendancy} without making it feel like you're just watching the other guy play. Totally worth going Jeskai for this deck. Might consider splash black for {Mardu Ascendancy} but I don't see it being worth it. Hope this helps, I just might run the list myself!

Oops. You are right.
