Æther Rift: Has anyone tried...

[Griffith_se]

...an Æther Rift deck?

This is really crappy I know, but it kinda illustrates the idea I had.

The bold type cards are the ones I think are Key.
Saproling Cluster could probably be replaced by some other card that would do the same thing though.

So, go ahead and hack away at it, and we'll see where it goes.

G/R/w
14 Crreatures
Some speed, and multi color mana
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Utopia Tree

Search for Dragons
2 Captain Sissy

The Dragons
2 Darigaaz, the Igniter
2 Rith, the Awakener

22 Spells
Search and protection for Enchantments
4 Sterling Groove

Incase plan "a" Fails, maybe you'll be able to beat with a BoP.
4 Seal of Fire
4 Seal of Strength
2 Ancestral Mask

To empty your hand, so you only have a dragon to discard to to Æther Rift.
4 Saproling Cluster

Of course to get the the dragons in play for free.
4 Æther Rift

4 City of Brass
20 more lands

Instead of Captain Sisay. I know I kid who tried and etherrift deck with Kavu's which are usually cheap anyway.

I saw an avatar/rift deck. It was alright, but either very janky or too mana reliant.....

...a deck using both AEther (sorry, I don't know how to do the other character...) Rift and Call of the Wild? If you pack your deck with creatures, you could get one from the Rift and the Call into play each turn.

OR, you could manascrew yourself trying.....

Call of the wild COMBOS WITH GOBLIN SPY! I KNEW THERE WAS A COMBO! THAT'S IT!
