Deck Of the Day - Frontier Pummeler

 Hi all! Today we are looking at a deck that is much like Infect for the Frontier format:

 [[deck: 16653]]

The goal is to deal as much damage as quickly as possible, typically in a one shot kill. I say that it is much like Infect due to the amount of pump, protection, and relative evasion. It plays very closely, being an aggro-combo style deck as well.

Your most powerful cards are the [[card_link: Volatic Brawler]] and [[card_link: Electrostatic Pummeler]], often being able to hit for over 20 damage as early as turn 4. [[card_link: Blossoming Defense]] and [[card_link: Ranger's Guile]] are your best defense against removal, while still pumping your creature. Unopposed, this deck can win as early as turn 3.

Your weaknesses include decks that go wide, decks that have a lot of counters with [[card_link: Negate]] being very bad overall, and decks with a lot of spot removal. This makes [[card_link: Monastery Swiftspear]] a little better, because each spell you cast may pump it out of range of damage based removal.

There is a high-variance to this deck, and is often wise to keep hands with at least 2 creatures. In this shell, even an [[card_link: Elvish Mystic]] can become a lethal threat, through a couple pump spells and [[card_link: Temur Battle Rage]].

[[card_link: Back to Nautre]] makes its way into the sideboard due to the amount of vehicles, as well as the [[card_link: Ensoul Artifact]] archetypes. [[card_link: Bedlam Reveler]] and [[card_link: Hooting Mandrills]] are great in match-ups that tend to drag out. In metas with a high amount of flying decks, [[card_link: Windstorm]] can also be considered.

I hope you all enjoy this deck, and as always thank you for reading!
