I've posted this deck a week or so ago and this is the final iteration of it until DoK comes out. The deck plays like an aggro deck with graveyard value. Post board works well against lots of decks in my meta currently. The worst matchup I've had with this deck so far has been UB control. I've finally got some cash and got a play set of thoughtseizes and I've added  {Merciless Executioner}s to deal with  {Silumgar, the Drifting Death}. The counter magic gets to my board because I can chip away with my little guys but the gain life lands they have reverses my damage and then they counter my flayer. Hopefully thoughtseize can help here. Besides that any deck that is aggro this deck matches up very well. UW heroic is easily dealt with as well if I play my removal correctly. RG monsters has given me fits but that was more of luck draws then anything but that is a fun matchup. Ironically the  {Dark Betrayal}s are in the side for mainly for {Siege Rhino}s but I haven't played against that deck yet (somehow). Overall deck is fun and different. They try and sideboard against an agrro strat and it slows me down some what but then flayers and my other bigs take over.

Soulflayer is already awkward enough to attack into. Not worth it IMO

[LinkCelestrial]

With the minimal amount of value cards for {Soulflayer} I'd be considering cutting him.

Yea any deck that has to run 3 {Gurmag swiftwing} and isn't running {chromanticore} isn't doing it right.

The deck ironically abuses him. Every creature except for the two hordechiefs and three war names have an ability namely haste. Depending how a game goes I can easily drop at the minimum a hasted flayer or a Alesha who is pulling minis from my yard. The removal and haste creatures makes a good enough combo that I can afford having the swiftwings in here to be discarded to tormenting voices and set up flayer. I've had draws where I'm swinging with a turn three flying first strike and haste flayer. I've taken this deck to two standard events. First on I went 3-2 and reworked it. The next day I went 4-1 and was ko-Ed in too 8 by {U}{B} control. Now I have thoughtseizes in the side and the deck is working at an efficient pace. If DoK gives me some good card I can swap some stuff around

I don't really play standard at all but I honestly think that {Soulflayer} should get removed for better ETB/LTB with Alesha.

If I cut him I would cut the bats as well. Problem being I built the deck to play a flayer deck 😄. I would run something like  {Zurgo Bellstriker} as a two of one more  {Flamewake Phoenix} And  {War-Name Aspirant}. That's 4. I'm hoping that the {R}{B} command is 3 mana and it's good because I want to run them. I'm still short 2-3 creatures and I don't see to many I like in here without making this into a completely different deck

Cut the {Soulflayer}s and {Gurmag Swiftwing}.

{Zurgo Bellstriker} seems good. {Flamewake Phoenix} is super good but you have minimal Ferocious triggering help. Maybe add {Ashcloud Phoenix}? I'd run the new four drop dragon. I can't remember what it's called.

The one that if targeted by opponent it lighting bolts? Also this deck would be separate from this one lol. It may not look it on paper but it's fun and it gets there very well.

Yeah. Or stormy but that's a pretty big stretch on your mana base.
