-3 Roc, +3 Stormbeath or 2/2 split with Sarkhan.

Sideboard is tight to be honest so I'm not sure what to change. It's too applicable in our local meta as well.

EDIT: Corrected numbers.

I like the list. I tried to pitch Outburst but no one would listen lol. Not a fan of Roc over Mouthbreather though. That card is so good right now.
I would also run Stormbreath over Roc in that list. The only question if you would run 3 or just run 2 and add another Sarkhan.

The Mardu list seems to be constructed specifically to catch decks unaware. Not sure of its lifetime if you're going to run it regularly.

Two of the top 8s are mono-red aggro decks. I'm pleased. Brad Nelson is also piloting a Mardu list. I'm interested in what he is running.

Congratulations Lightning_Dolt!

I scrubbed out of Game Day because some of my other team needed the better cards (we are having problems with the pool and card availability). I got reminded again why you shouldn't play Jeskai Ascendancy combo when there's a lot of aggro in the meta.

Netdecks are ok, but you can't copy a deck 100%, take it to the local store and expect it to beat everyone without adjusting it to the local meta. So at the very least there is still some skill required in tuning those decks.

They were talking about on the stream that Rabblemaster is worse on the draw since it easily gets walled or removed. That being said, the Gryffs might happily take its place post-board on the draw.

Ideally you can swing when he does, but since he comes down turn 5, it is most likely that the Jeskai player has already dealt with your earlier creatures which we don't really play en masse. He also gains the opponent typically 5 or more life, which is bad for the burn deck.

Give the meta a few weeks to adjust to the new deck. If it's still dominating, then maybe a ban is in place.

I'm not sure if I would ban Jeskai Ascendancy itself because that would only revert the format back to the one before it.

I don't like Ride Down. The times it was in my hand, more often than not I didn't really want to attack, or the opponent will not bother blocking. The best target it for it is always the one blocking Rabblemaster. The other two are rarely blocked because of Prowess. Which matchups do you bring Chand...
