My original Selesnya Bestowtempole deck is all well and good, but I decided to try it in Boros instead.

What I've come to realize is that the real heart of any bestowtempole deck is Observant Alseid (grants vigilance), Ghostblade Eidolon (grants double strike) and the card draw off Kor Spiritdancer or Sage's Reverie. Get all this together and your day is made. (I guess technically you could go mono-white for bigger things like Celestial Archon, or really merge in any other colors, so long as you maintain those three elements.)

The downsides of this deck are best encapsulated by the above: it's slow. You can't put down the "foundation" of the totem pole until Turn 2 at earliest (Spiritdancer / Swiftblade Vindicator) and can't start stacking things on it until Turn 3. This is why Slippery Bogle and Gladecover Scout are much more popular foundations for Voltron decks. That said, this thing gets out of control fast; it can win even when playing from behind.
