---

Gather the Townsfolk and Rebuke the forces of evil! This is the stock Blessed deck from Duel Decks: Blessed vs Cursed. This deck is especially fun when played against the Cursed deck, obviously.

Strategy for this deck largely depends on what you draw early on. If the game goes long past turn 5 or 6 you won't have much hope, so get humans out early and swing hard. Below I list a few of the nice combos in this deck but keep in mind none of them are powerful enough to generate a win condition on their own; that's just not how these duel decks are built.

Topplegeist + Pore Over the Pages + Momentary Blink

Use Pore Over the Pages to bolster your hand and dump a card type you need to trigger Topplegeist's Delerium mechanic to tap an enemy creature every turn. Momentary Blink can be used twice to trigger Topplegeist's Enter the Battlefield mechanism an additional two times. Use in conjunction with whatever other creatures you have in play to control the battlefield and deal damage as early and often as possible.

Champion of the Parish + Gather the Townsfolk or Increasing Devotion

Play Champion of the Parish and use Gather the Townsfolk or Increasing Devotion to generate a ton of tokens and one major heavy hitter! Champion of the Parish and Increasing Devotion create a 6/6 with 5 1/1 Tokens on the first turn and a 16/16 with 15 1/1 Tokens on the second turn if Increasing Devotion is played again for Flashback cost. Use Eerie Interlude to protect against board wipes and targeted spells to attack for a total of 31 damage on the second turn of the combo. Throw in a Villiage Bell-Ringer (DDQ) at the end of your turn to untap all creatures, put an additional counter on Champion of the Parish and prepare for defense.

Geist of Saint Traft + Seraph Sanctuary

You'll be very lucky to actually pull this combo off as each of these cards is only a one-of of the stock deck, but Geist of Saint Traft brings along a 4/4 Flying Angel every time he attacks and Seraph Sanctuary (DDQ gives 1 life every time an Angel enters the battlefield.
