Value and more value, this deck came here to do two things beat face and say No.

A quick run down of the star players.

Stubborn Denial - Five stars. Ferocious is turned on by every creature bar caryatid and the queen, this spell is incredible at protecting your threats or even stopping walkers. Its so sweet when they go to pay one then have to read the card again

Sylvan Caryatid - The all star mana fixing dork that won't leave the board turn two caryatid is just so strong.

Disdainful Stroke - I was weary about running two in the main then realised every competitive deck in the meta has four drops. It counters the spells you want countered.Savage Knuckleblade - This card is just insane it can win games on its own, such a value machine.

Dig Through Time - Talking about value machines nothing is better at digging for answers (pardon the pun) or threats the card advantage is real with this one.

Shaman of the Great Hunt - if this sticks on the board (which denial helps a lot with) the main problem you'll have is decking yourself before your opponent dies

Kiora, the Crashing Wave - Ok the -1 is a really appealing feature but if you think you have any chance of protecting her the -5 will win you the game on its own no questions asked

I feel like the rest of the cards speak for themselves, a strong varied list of threats all providing excellent firepower Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Also I'd run more than one stormbreath but I only have one.

I took this deck to fnm and went 3-1-1 winning the first three easily, being well placed in the game three of round four but going to time and losing to manascrew round 5 game 3 against Abzan, overall placing fourth
