This a deck based around Daxos of Meletis, a card I fell in love with when I opened him in my first pack on my first Theros draft.

I created this deck to play on his strengths of swinging in under anything that can kill him, and killing anything that dares to block with all the exalted cards I could find. All U/W and colorless exalted cards are in this deck.

The deck is pretty straightforward.

Step 1

Attack only with Daxos, see if you get anything worthwhile from your victim's library.

Step 2

If you have mana, play spells to defend and buff Daxos some more.

Step 3

Repeat forever. Don't let your opponents leave, even if you win.

On a decent starting hand you can be swinging with a beefy Daxos pretty quickly.

I am currently thinking of adding some ways to tap down my opponents creatures (in case of vigilance) or something like Intrepid Hero as targeted removal for the same purpose.

My sideboard is cards is cards I am strongly considering.

Suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
