Sakashima the Impostor. You know you've always wanted a second Lorthos, or someone's Avacyn.
Elbrus is fine with me, but people may whine how its color identity is black and you cannot run it in a mono blue deck and blablabla. Be ready to hear it here.
No mono blue aggro is complete without arm with aether. Give your creatures unblockable and send a bunch of people back to their hands. drain power and piracy are also very good at supplementing your mana.

Sakashima the Impostor i keep meaning to put in, I'll add it to my wants here and maybe ill remeber to get it. Elbrus my play group is ok with just because it has no black mana symbols and... they all want to see it go off.

arm with aether i dont think this fits in the curve ... ill see if i can get one but i wish it was instant
drain power YES i will Green mana ramp is hurting me
piracy Not right now, the 10 dollar price is not something i want in right now.
I really like Sun Quan, but if I were to pick a horsemanship general I'd go with Lu Xun, Scholar General. Also be careful about the card Piracy. Your opponents can tap their lands in response and you don't get anything out of it, however with Drain Power you get the mana in their pool so unless they have something to sink mana into they must activate a mana ability and give you that mana. Still not great, but a fun card.

Lu Xun, Scholar General is not the agro i want, i use sun quan to get off all those little blue guys that never go off. he is like a sorcery that says you have unblockable till end of turn... then if he lasts a round :-D next turn you are being hit with a lot
Arm with Aether was a shameless plug, because I love the flavor and art.
Drain power is a great blue card I ran across a few days ago, and I figured I'd throw in Piracy because who knows?
Looked up Piracy doesnt work it just forces them to tap out. Arm with Aether is something im thinking about, but im hoping for a cypher unsummon or target permanent
When I think of aggro, I think of dudes who want to swing in ASAP. No R means no haste, but flash is the next best thing. Actually better in some respects IMO

Yeah I get that, but Lu Xun looks like less of a threat, which can be important in multiplayer. Also a built in extra card every turn is nice. I do run a Sun Quan in my Mimeoplasm just because I like him and think he's fun. Also because I think people over estimate him and are naturally afraid so he eats a lot of removal. (Which is why I guess in my group playing him as a general would get me singled out).
I'd love to have the money to build all the decks I want to build lol. I'd definitely make something big blue and aggro with one of the blue horsemanship guys. By the way where are the mana rocks that let you accelerate into him? Seems like Mana Vault, Grim Monolith, and Mana Crypt (if you can afford it) should be in here somewhere. Also I would run Sword of Kaldra over Hedron Matrix mostly because it exiles stuff.
Since you seem to be going with a bit of an evasion theme I would run Mask of Memory. If you put it on Thieving Magpie you can draw three cards every time it hits someone.

Yes to all, I think flash is a little slower then haste but with all the counterspells it works better

Mana rocks are too expensive for me :-( yeah id love more moonies... Mask of Memory was in the deck ... it might go back in, i have an extra anyways
What about Wonder. The only thing better than a horse is a Pegasus right?
a 3 drop that doesn't have Morph (because morph scares my play group more then anything) or that doesn't give me resources I cant create my self.... I just don't feel wonder does enough. my creatures almost never need flying. I will keep playing this deck and see how it goes. but its likely not a card i will use.
My play group is OK with Elbrus, the Binding Blade....

How I know I should build a deck:

Kukemssa Pirates is pretty good, especially if you like Thada Adel, Acquisitor.
Surrakur Spellblade starts out decent and can grow into a monstrous draw engine.
Mono Red's Strengths and Mono White's Strengths

Yes to all, I think flash is a little slower then haste but with all the counterspells it works better
Thank you for the infinite Damage combo all going in.
Mana rocks are too expensive for me :-( yeah id love more moonies... Mask of Memory was in the deck ... it might go back in, i have an extra anyways
