The primary goal is to cheat around creature's high casting cost through recursion, generate a lot of tokens, and then sac or recklessly throw around creatures to either benefit yourself or punish enemies, much the same way the old Modern Aristocrats deck.

Perhaps over investment is the Alesha Protection packages. Mother and Giver of ruins, Key to the City, Iroas, both types of boots, and Maze of Ith (when necessary). Still, this is an important part of the package, so It'll stick around for now, until I get some testing in.

This reworked edition also includes significantly more revival outside of the general, something that often caused me problems before. Sun Titan, Sword of Light and Shadow were both added, and Sheoldred is a hard consideration.
