So Grafted Wargear is a pretty good card, right? Well they pretty much just reprinted it in this set for one less mana. You can go many different ways with the Hero's Blade deck, the two I feel that are the most relevant are the Mardu build and the Jeskai build. Mardu gets the Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury while Jeskai gets the Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest. I personally like Mardu a bit better simply because Zurgo. I want Zurgo to finally do something, even though it is very possible he is just worse than Kolaghan. The deck seems like it's very fun, it just could use a few more legendary creatures that are 4 drops. There are practically no good legendary 4's other than Sidisi, and this deck isn't supporting Sidisi any time soon. Anyways, I'm fairly sure this isn't the optimal build for this deck, and I welcome your two cents!
