This deck was put together to try to beat Oko, since the smug jerk's going to be in Standard for at least a couple more weeks.

There's a playset of Demotion mainboard as an 'answer' to t1 Gilded Goose (note that it turns off all activated abilities). Oko can turn it into an Elk and start beating down, but it does prevent blocks. It's also a way to attack past Wicked Wolf, even though it's likely we might want something else to deal with that.

Gods Willing is there to prevent Tajic from getting murdered. Unsure if I want Aurelia or Venerated Loxodon in the 4+ drop slot. Charming Prince is there mostly as a 2/2 that either is decent against aggro, or to help prevent flood/screw.

Unsure about Raise the Alarm. The 1/1s aren't good unless we draw the convoke cards or if they get mentored, but they are a way to rebuild after a board wipe? I guess? Part of me wants to replace it with Grateful Apparition since 1-drop into Grateful Apparition into Tajic seems like a really good curve-out, but idk

Boros Challenger is awkward to cast at times but having another mentor creature seems important.

The manabase is _rough_, ugh. I really don't want to run Temples because curving out is so important in this deck.
