This is a fun combo I adapted from my friend's deck; he was running Elite Arcanist just so he could exile/copy Silence every turn. I thought that was kinda boring and slow, so I switched it up and made it more heroic.

Basically, the goal is to get one or more of the white heroic guys out then play Elite Arcanist and exile Triton Tactics , Gods Willing , or even Silence . Use whatever you exiled and untap Elite Arcanist with either Triton Tactics or Hidden Strings then repeat until you're out of mana, and by then, you'll have triggered their heroic ability like three times, which should put you far enough ahead to swing and win.

At least, that's how I want it to work; I can't seem to get the land/creature/non-creature balance right and I also think I should switch in various other cards, I just don't know what to exchange them for.

Any help/advice would be very highly appreciated, thank you!
