Sultai Assault! - Turn 3 Win
This is my take on a deck based around Assault Formation[DTK].
It is a spin off of Gavin Verhey's deck which can be found here:
http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/reconstructed/best-offense-good-toughness-2015-03-10
The whole deck revolves around Assault Formation and its ability to turn 1 and 2 CMC creatures into powerhouses. (Ex. Dragon's Eye Savants becomes a 6/6 for 2CMC!) Since the deck relies so heavenly on a single card I tried to include ways to help make sure you get it every game. ( Anticipate, Commune with the Gods, and Courser of Kruphix) I also included some control in the sideboard some control although I believe that could use a little work.
Any feedback and suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated!
How it can work for a turn 3 win:
Turn 1: Llanowar Wastes, Disowned Ancestor
Turn 2: Yavimaya Coast, Assault Formation, swing for 4.
Turn 3: Forest, Triton Tactics and Shape the Sands x2 on the Disowned Ancestor and swing for 17!
Game. Set. Match.
This of course is if you drew a perfect hand, and just an example of the potential of this deck.
*Update*
After some playtesting I made a few changes to the deck: I took out Sylvan Caryatid x3 and Courser of Kruphix x1 in place of 4x Scourge of Skola Vale and removed 4x Anticipate and 1x Shape the Sands to add 1x Commune with the Gods and 4x Kin-Tree Invocation. I am looking at the Scourge of Skola Vale and Kin-Tree Invocation as alternate win cons. I also revamped Sideboard, added 4x Sultai Charm, and removed 4x Opulent Palace mainboard and added 4x Mana Confluence
