Uses heroics for efficient beaters. Triggers are mixed in with answers and cards that keep the tempo in your favor. Turns one and two are hopefully spent playing creatures, and, from there on out, pumping those creatures up and keeping them alive.

Placed 6th, 4th, then 3rd in the last three FNM's (each one with about ~25 people playing). Currently experiences the most issues with mono black and esper. Hexproof tends to go 50-50. Most other match-ups (at least in the local meta) seem to favor this deck.
