Information

Deck Took me to Masters with ease and has been performing for me SUPER well. It is definitely still improving, but I'll quickly go over the significant details of the deck.
1. Bombs
Sword Of unity is the best card in this deck hands down. It is, (in my opinion, but also pretty clearly) the best Combrei non-control card and one of the best cards in the game period. I grab it from the market 99% of the time if I don't already have one and about 75% of the time that I do. The goal of this deck is to ramp as hard and fast as you can into getting a large weapon attached to a decent body and close out the game quickly, and Sword achieves this the best while also shutting down control, aggro, and most midrange decks.
Bodies- Genetrix, Magus, and Copperhall Elite are the other fantastic cards I'm running (And Siraf will be to once I craft a playset) Magus owns all Aggro decks, Siraf gets around Vanquish, torch AND annihilate, making her even harder to remove than Magus. Genetrix is DA BOMB! She has won about as many games for me as Sword has. That +4/+4 just turns your mana dorks unexpectedly into threats bigger than your opponent can handle (especially on turn THREE). And Copperhall Elite might as well be 2/3 of a Sword on a body, as it has 2 of the three super relevant abilities, and any equipment at all turns that fellow into a total wrecking machine.

2. Notable Exclusions/ a few more notable inclusions
WHY NO TEACHER!? I run Crownwatch paladin over Teacher because unless you go first and your opponent has no removal, teacher is never good enough, mainly because the meta has morphed itself so EVERY deck has an answer to her. Crownwatch on the other hand has aegis, making it a versatile body to attach weapons to. I run her over awakened student for basically the same reason.
SANDSTORM TITAN!? My 4cmc spot is hyper-inflated enough without titans, and the card's anti-synergy with inquisitors blade is just super awkward. The card is AMAZING and has won plenty of games for me, but I think the deck is just more smooth and consistent without it (I still run one copy just until I craft more Sirafs)
World Bearer Behemoth- Used to rock in this deck! But it made my deck too clunky. I would either draw so many bombs that I had 3 left in my hand after I won, or the cmc of my high cost threats would be to awkward and the opp would run me over. I cut it for most of the same reasons as Sandstorm Titan
Alhed- Will probably get swapped for a 2 or 3 drop eventually, probaly some more Sirafs, but in the meantime he is awesome when the games drag out because the opp is ALWAYS out of all removal by then. Even if, no, ESPECIALLY if they are running control.

NOTE- Dropping Alheds was a mistake. So I went down a paladin instead. Siraf is DEFINITELY one of the best cards in the deck (Being both a nice tempo body and an alternative win con) so ya definitely want 4, but it will take some more play testing to determine what I think is best to cut

3. The matchups
This deck owns all time midrange decks and has only dropped one game to any type of praxis deck and 1 game to Combrei as well, and both were because the deck was clunky, it has since trimmed up a lot, and I am a HUGE fan of the extra land; it makes things much more consitent. The deck is also too fast and too big for Skycragg (and beats up on praxis tokens for the same reason) Most Icaria Decks are somewhat an even matchup, but it consitently beats up on Icaria blue, and pure Rakano is definitely the worst matchup. A close second though is Feln Control ( 100% win rate against Feln aggro for the above listed reasons). Feln and Rakano are both able to deal with our threats somewhat consistently while placing too many of their own. Don't get me wrong; I think Feln is awful right now. Like tier 3 at best. But it's a rough matchup for this deck, and I recommend getting swords out of your hand at the sight of the primal merchant in most matchups because rain of frogs sucks. Asside from that the best way to beat Feln is to play faster than they can control; in fact its probably your only shot. And Rakano is the Opposite. You want to slow roll your threats. MAking sure they have aegis and flying if at all possible, and you want to deal with their threats quite methodically as well. A rushed job will find itself facing 3 Rizhans or 2 Icarias, or a well-timed hammer, or 2 harsh rules .
Other than that, I think the deck is straight forward. Enjoy!! And please comment, question, and critique to your heart's content!!
