Deck Spotlight: Jeskai Heroic Combo

We had a spicy brew take down SCG: Oakland yesterday. Ivan Jen piloted Jeskai Heroic Combo to a first place finish! Yes, another exciting Standard combo deck with Jeskai Ascendancy. Instead of being a pure Combo deck like earlier iterations of Standard Jeskai Combo, this deck plays aggressive Heroic creatures to put pressure on the opponent, and can kill them out of nowhere with the Ascendancy Combo utilizing Springleaf Drum and Akroan Crusader for infinite mana. The way it works is as follows: First, you need Jeskai Ascendancy and Akroan Crusader in play. You cast Springleaf Drum and then Retraction Helix on Crusader getting a Soldier token. Use the Soldier Token with the Drum to generate mana, then bounce the Drum with the Crusader. Play the Drum and everything untaps and gets +1/+1. Repeat until you can kill your opponent. The beauty of this deck is it can easily win without comboing off. Just going to town with your creatures can get the job done like Boss Sligh or UW Heroic. Jeskai Ascendancy can be used as an Anthem-effect rather than a combo piece. This deck is quite efficient and looks very similar to Tempo Twin in Modern in terms of style.
