Cards Breakdown
(in alphabetic order)
Mainboard
- Birds of Paradise: One drop mana maker, useful also as chump blocker if in danger.
- Darksteel Plate: Makes any creature indestructible and it's indestructible itself. Not expensive either, is one of the pillars of this deck.
- Dawn Charm: Life saver instant.
- Noble Hierarch: A grounded and exalted Birds of Paradise.
- Oriss, Samite Guardian : It can protect any of your creatures, nice when you don't have an indestructible creature but you want to use Pariah anyway.
- Pariah: The main piece of this deck. If used on an indestructible creature makes you invulnerable to damage and it can also be used on an opponent's creature to stall him from attacking.
- Platinum Angel: If you can protect it, and this deck has all you need, you simply can't loose.
- Predator Ooze: cheap indestructible creature that can also grow each turn.
- Puresteel Paladin: This allows you to draw a lot of cards since you'll drop quite a number of equipments
- Serum Visions: You draw a card and also decide what you'll draw in the next 2 turns, nice and cheap.
- Swiftfoot Boots: More expensive than Lightning Greaves but let's you enchant or equip your creature without losing it's protection.
- Whispersilk Cloak: The problem of this deck is how to kill your opponent after you became invincible and this card is the answer. It can also protect vital creatures like Platinum Angel from removals.
- Worship: with this in play you'll just have to keep a creature alive and nothing bad can happen to you.
- Wrath of God: Remove all the creatures of your opponent without loosing your indestructible army.
Sideboard
- Leonin Shikari: with this in play your equipments will protect all your creatures, especially if you also have the metalcraft ability of Puresteel Paladin in action.
- Melira, Sylvok Outcast: the only answer this deck has to infect opponents.
- Platinum Angel: Mana is not a problem?! Include one more of this beauties to increase chances of success.
- Sundering Growth: Artifact or enchantment remover, useful against black control decks.
- Supreme Verdict: If your opponent keeps countering your Wrath of God tell him to counter this!
- Wrath of God: In case your opponent is playing tokens or fast tribals like goblins one more mass removal will come in handy
