Planeswalkers Assemble!!!!
Where shall I start? I rarely include Planeswalkers in my decks (Unless his name is Garruk) and thought about how I could make a deck based around Planeswalkers. In this deck there are various ways in which the Planeswalkers work with each other.
Domri Rade second ability (-2 Target creature you control fights another target creature) works very well with Gideon, Champion of Justice creature ability, the Gods within this deck and a monstrous Fleecemane Lion.
Not only does Domri Rade work well with Gideon, Champion of Justice but so does
Ajani, Caller of the Pride
second ability (-3 Target creature gains flying and double strike until end of turn). Imagine a 15/15 Gideon, Champion of Justice with; flying, double strike, indestructibility. He doesn't even take damage.
Mana Confluence does take life away from me but that isn't all bad if I control a Nyx-Fleece Ram. I am an admirer of this sheep. 0/5 for 2 which doesn't have defender. It can attack. If I put Ajani, Mentor of Heroes first ability (+1 Distribute three +1/+1 counters among one, two, or three target creatures you control). Hmmmm....a 3/8 sheep....yes please. Yeah it makes itself a huge target for removal but I would rather keep my Planewalkers, Gods etc alive long enough to do something.
I have found it hard to get my red devotion high enough so that Purphoros, God of the Forge can become a creature. Although, I have found that it is not a bad thing for it not being a creature. It still does it's abilities. I can use Elspeth, Sun's Champion first ability (+1 Put three 1/1 white soldier tokens onto the battlefield). Not only do I get three 1/1 soldiers, but I also do 6 damage to my opponent.
Ajani, Mentor of Heroes all of his abilities help me out in one why or another. His second +1 ability helps me get creatures and planeswalkers. It is a shame that
Banishing Light
isn't an aura otherwise it would be the cream of the crop, or Ajani could search for enchantments instead of auras.
Omenspeaker is simple really. 2 mana for a 1/3 and scry 2.
I really enjoy using some sort of white exile/removal spell.
Banisher Priest
fits the bill nicely and so does
Banishing Light
. Removal really helps me stall so I can get the best out of my deck.
Sylvan Caryatid
is self explanatory.
Xenagos, the Reveler...he gives me mana and creatures to make full use of within this deck.
Finally,
Flame-Wreathed Phoenix
...I love this card. It's either a 5/5 flyer or a 3/3 with haste and when it dies it goes to my hand. All for just 4 mana. Love it!
Jace, Architect of Thought is a great card that I can use to stall my opponent's attack and reduce the damage I/my Planeswalkers take. His -2 ability helps me out greatly.
Kiora, the Crashing Wave
is another great card. Self explanatory really.
Any tips and constructive criticism are welcomed.
