My playgroup is having everyone make a Kaladesh block (standard) deck. We play some kitchen table magic but we are all pretty good. We often play multiplayer as well. I decided to attempt a Sultai energy deck considering that multiplayer games require more endurance than a 1 v 1, and I liked a lot of what these colors could do with the energy.
As you can see, it's fairy budget; the mana base is pretty basic. I'm running all creatures just to have maximum potential for my late game Demon of Dark Schemes. The whole point of the deck is to ramp for mana and energy early on until I can get a few threats that can swing the game heavily in my favor. Aethersquall Ancient and Demon of Dark Schemes provide pseudo-board wipes that can help get rid of things. There is a decent amount of creature ramp, some card draw, and even life gain with Arborback Stomper.
My question is how would you make this deck any better without breaking a budget? I'd also like to use only cards from Kaladesh block. I just don't know if I'm missing anything that's crucial to the build or perhaps there's better options.
After testing it a few times, the curve did seem high, but I seemed to manage in most of my games. I definitely think Attune with Aether seems like a solid card choice because of the wide spread of my mana. I am also looking to get some of the fastlands and Aether Hub, which would help my deck tremendously. Winding Constrictor is definitely a strong card, but without something like Fabrication Module I feel like it doesn't do enough for my deck to include it without +1/+1 counters. But Maybe then I just need to test it out and see how much energy I can gain.
Arborback Stomper was mainly in here as a mid-game (which feels more like early game in multiplayer) aggressor/blocker, and helps me stabilize a good chunk of life.
I have also wanting to add a couple Oviya Pashiri, Sage Lifecrafter because it can chump block servos and make an army with my usually abundant mana.
