This is a deck themed around rot and curses, so having it led by a goblin warlock and/or scarecrow certainly makes sense
Whats the first thing that comes to mind when you think about Temur, and which card do you think we left out that deserves a spot on the list
Our options are therefore as follows: Azorius v Jund: Will, Scion of Peace & Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper + Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar Rakdos v Bant: Judith, Carnage Connoisseur & Shanna, Purifying Blade Selesnya v Grixis: Trelasarra, Moon Dancer & Solkanar the Swamp King Boros v Sultai: Firesong and Sunspeaker & Zimone and Dina Golgari v Jeskai: Beledros Witherbloom & The Archimandrite Okay, there should be six, but if you can find an oppositional pair in Dimir and Naya that can both be reasonably called a life gain deck, go for it
And yet, I think this mana value/ability combination works fine enough to create a niche for it under the lead of Celes, Rune KnightCeles, Rune Knight
If you are likely to die the next turn unless you draw a key removal spell, you may choose not to attack to ensure you draw those extra cards
