Sideboard


Maybeboard


Pretty self-explanatory. Flood the board with defenders in the early game and trigger massive attacks (or awful blocks) using Assault Formation. You aren't worried about losing defenders and the opponent will always want to think twice before "wasting" removal on a wall. Late game plays include Gideon Jura to force attacks into your walls and Venser to blink Wall of Omens/Halimar Depths/Gideon or make all of your walls unblockable.

Luminarch Ascension is a secondary win-con. Your only weakness being burn, which gives them the awkward choice of spending their burn spells on your life total or losing to the wall attacks.

Condescend/Sphinx's Revelation is for the later game when you can generate tons of mana using Overgrown Battlement.

Cards I have seriously been considering include Nyx-Fleece Ram and Wall of Denial. While the Ram is a great creature for this deck, the two-drop slot is already packed and I would rather have the cantripping Wall of Omens that makes a good blink target than the additional +1 toughness. Wall of Denial is phenomenal...but can't be targeted. There are ways around this (Stepping Stones) but I'd rather not waste the slot.

One thing I'm not happy about is having excess enchantments stuck in my hand--I have considered, though not been convinced by, See Beyond.

Also in consideration is Contagion Clasp, which kills creatures, adds counters to Luminarch/Planeswalkers, and makes a great blink target.

This is not meant to be a super-competitive deck. Just one that I can surprise people with at the occasional local tournament or play casually. Any constructive help/advice would be appreciated.
