This is another one of my casual Theros Block decks!
(The others: Unblockable Casual Theros Block Deck and Theros Block Casual Dredge Deck).
This one focuses on a little card synergy between Humans, Heroic, and
Cavalry Pegasus
.
The main goal of this deck is to win by beating up your opponents until they give up or die! This is a budgetish deck too by the way.
It's a heroic deck so the only real combos to think about are pumping
Hero of Leina Tower
or
Phalanx Leader
with instants/enchantments/sorcery to swing for lethal.
The Cards:
--Creatures--
Archetype of Courage - First strike for everyone! Kind of flows with the idea of this deck and it's a human.
Cavalry Pegasus
- Only non human in the deck but it's the main reason why this deck exists. Flying Humans.
Hero of Leina Tower
- What Heroic is made for. Pretty great way to throw excess mana at in order to make her bigger. She's a win-con in this budget Theros deck.
Nyxborn Shieldmate
- He's pretty cool. 1 drop 1/2 with a mid-game cheap bestow. He can attack if you need or trigger Heroic that's a win win.
Phalanx Leader
- Helps make all of these little guys become big guys. Again, this is what Heroic is made for.
--Instants--
Colossal Heroics
- It costs one more that what I had originally planned (
Savage Surge
) but it contains the Strive mechanic. Untaps your guys to block and triggers heroic!
Gods Willing - Mainly in there not for its Heroic trigger but for its ability to attack "unblockable" against some other decks. The Casual Budget I see doesn't usually contain that many colors...
Mortal's Ardor
- Lifelink! When it's late game and
Hero of Leina Tower
is a 13/13 it's kinda awesome to swing in for a crap ton of life gain.
Ajani's Presence - Early game trigger that helps against things bigger than what you got. Later game Strive use!
Reap What Is Sown
- Card that can set off up to 3 of the Heroic creatures triggers for 3 mana? Yes, I'll take 4.
Solidarity of Heroes - Game ender once the triggers start to stack up. Late game Hero of Leina Tower? Lets make it twice as big. Strive makes everything bigger too.
--Enchantments--
Gift of Immortality - Lacking any type of counters or removal, this card will allow you to keep those heroes on the battlefield just a bit longer. (Honestly I feel that this card should be removed but it has helped me in a few games so...).
Ordeal of Heliod
- Life gain! In this heroic deck, 3 +1/+1s aren't that hard to come by.
--Sideboard--
Bassara Tower Archer
- I have a friend who is building a flying casual deck so, yeah, this is helpful against that deck haha.
The maybeboard is mainly filled with cards I believe would make this deck more competitive and that I will try out and run every once in a while to shake things up.
Any type of input would be much appreciated!
