Basically the goal is to get a bunch of defenders out to block stuff, then get an Axebane Guardian out so that by turn 7 or 8 you have a 20/20 indestructible with trample Colossus of Akros. Cards like Axebane Guardian and Sylvan Caryatid make it possible to get out white and red defenders. Vent Sentinel and Phenax, God of Deception provide other win conditions. Other win combos: Axebane Guardian, Freed from the Real and Phenax, God of Deception = infinite mill. Axebane Guardian or Overgrown Battlement, Freed from the Real and Banefire = infinite uncounterable damage.
