Here for the long haul folks.

Build up a fortress of devoted individuals, who can put up the walls to hold off your enemies for you to cast out the commanding leader in charge Reverent Hoplite. Once your forces are overwhelmingly large, take out your enemies one by one or all at once with cards like Cliffside Lookout, Dawnglare Invoker, Encampment Keeper, and Selfless Cathar.

Make your army larger with cards like.

• Acrobatic Maneuver
• Cloudshift
• Ephemerate
• Justiciar's Portal
• Otherworldly Journey
• Settle Beyond Reality
• Aviary Mechanic
• Kor Skyfisher
• Whitemane Lion

You could also use any of these on Dwarven Priest to gain tons of life
