The deck was mostly a hit or miss sort of deck but it could do really well with the right starting hand. Just going off the top of my head cause this is just an idea that has probably been had before.
The shell combines two combos, Questing into Armor or the Blade and Erayo Flip. You can also use Kor Outfitter to attach the Blade to an early memnite or Ornithropter.
The decks curve tops at two, excluding the armor so I made it with very little mana wise.
Any thoughts on this, I feel it could do well if it gets a good start it can out race or ruin decks before they get started with the Armor. Thoughts on what to improve on the deck?
I took out a cannonist, skirge and Blade for 3 skyfishers.
The deck runs fine but it's a huge race against decks such as Combo and against Affinity the deck has fallen appart quite a lot just from the damage they can do. I feel the deck is just not fast enough, that and I didn't pilot it often enough when it was in Standard to know how to play it well.
Have you tried Squadron Hawk? I did a variant of this deck in standard for a bit and Squadron hawk could turn a mediocre hand into a board full of evasive flyers and an active quest.
Personally, if I had to cut a card I would cut memnite. I know why its in there, but I'd argue the hawk is better in this situation. I'd say the tutoring + Evasion combo is worth it. I also only played the deck in standard, so there may be a problem I'm not seeing.
I also made another variation of this deck using an G/W aggro Elves build. Just pumping out elfs is the norm and cracking quests on turn 2 isn't unusual.

Elbrus is unnecessary. 2 Armors will get the job done.
