It took me quite a while to come up with an interesting, different deck for today, but I finally found one in the last Standard Challenge Top 8 results.
KELMASTERP finished in second place with this Jeskai Runes build that uses Runeforge Champion to fetch one of the Runes for free and then ideally, enchant Goldspan Dragon to start chaining them on it while also generating mana in the process thanks to the Dragon’s ability.
This deck is very similar to the old Feather, the Redeemed builds, though you’re missing a cheap protection card to stop your opponent from being able to kill your creatures with removal spells in response.
Sejiri Shelter is trying to do a Gods Willing impression, but keeping two mana up is a lot harder than one in a deck like this.
I don’t think this deck will be a Tier 1 contender, but anything with powerful cards like Showdown of the Skalds and Goldspan Dragon seems pretty reasonable to me these days, so if you like off-meta decks and want to play something different, give it a try.
