"Don't stop, beeeeeeeelieving!"
My 2nd edition is another take on standard. This deck attacks from a different angle which is sure to catch people by surprise. For starters, it's based around making creature tokens (via [[card_link: Gideon, Ally of Zendikar]], [[card_link: Sram’s Expertise]], or [[card_link: Spawning Bed]]), then using [[card_link: Indomitable Creativity]] on your own creature tokens. Since we don't play any artifacts and the only creatures are [[card_link: Decimator of the Provinces]], they come directly into play as 7/7 trample haste creatures. Hitting 3 of them slams your opponent for 21 trample haste damage.
Can this deck possibly be competitive? It can until it's a known quantity, because it can be easy to hate on. Is the deck consistent? Yes, it can be because it runs lots of cantrip effects to help pitch bad cards. You will want to play the deck like a control deck with planeswalkers until you're ready to punch home the combo for the win.
The sideboard could use some tweaking as I don't think we need the 4th [[card_link: Release the Gremlins]], the 4th [[card_link: Incendiary Flow]], or the 3rd [[card_link: Declaration in Stone]]. However, we can only play non-artifact, non-creatures in standard. Therefore, our options are slightly reduced. It's possible that we could find a creature for the board that would also be great to creativity into that is preferable for some matchups, but I'm not sure exactly what that would be. Maybe the Bruna combo? I leave that up to the creativity of our viewers. One things for sure, you'll catch some odd looks for playing this one and when you win you will maximize your salt intake. Keep on brewing!
