Hit you with fat tough dudes. Need 5 cards for side and need done eyeballs to see if the decks balanced

{hornets nest} I'm thinking

I like this. Most decks will have a problem with 4x nest. I feel like {Arashin cleric} is more of a sideboard card against burn and aggro.

That's why I post here cause i forget things. Is  {Hornet Nest} A 4 of and how should I spread some slots for  {Lagonna-Band Trailblazer}

Board out all four {Arashin cleric} and add four Nest. Replace {Dragons eye sentry} with four {Lagonna band trailblazer }

I can see that working

Edit: I also added one silkwrap temporarily until I find better sideboard cards

Crossed

I saw a build last night of a play set of each {lagonna-band trail blazer} {yolked ox} {shape the sands} and {assault formation}. It has the capability to win on turn 3.
Turn 1 lagonna
Turn 2 assault, hit for 4
Turn 3 double sands targeting lagonna becoming a 2/16

Thank goodness {ultimate price} back in standard.

{Ultimate price} isn't really the key to beating this deck. This deck will stumble similar to izzet artifacts. This is an aggro deck that requires a combo to get the win. It's shaky and even if you get the win on the first match, your opponent knows that you absolutely need {assault formation} to win. They're going to bring in all of the enchantment hate and cheap removal like {ultimate price}. This deck requires more luck than most decks to get the win. If you can't draw or keep {assault formation} on the board, then you lose.

Now if you want to really build this deck, you absolutely need {commune with the gods}.i suggest replacing it with {dromoka's command} since fighting isn't combat damage and won't be useful remove for this deck.

You need a backup plan. With only 20 mana I can't think of anything... Anything like {Faith's Shield} in standard? Something that can protect {Assault Formation}?
