Built around the broken Feather, the Redeemed. All other creatures build counters when targeted with spells and then Feather gives you those spells right back. Lots of cheap and versatile instants allow you to play your turn and theirs with Feather and activates endless card drawing and protection with Defiant strike and Gods Willing. Fun and powerful combos and everything has a purpose! Huge sideboard at the moment because I have been playing with the deck a lot.

Let me know if you have any recs - intention is that nearly every spell can 'target' one of my creatures that way I get it back in my hand with Feather AND it pumps my soldiers.
