Hey all! This is the one of a few EDH decks I've been running over the last few months. This started a few years ago, with my first EDH deck, the Nahiri precon. I removed the bad equipment, threw in some swords, and added hate bears. Balan came out with C17, so I figured I'd give him a try at the helm. The deck plays well enough in 1v1 games; you can typically tutor for the sword that hoses your opponent and then just start swinging through with added bonuses. I've made a few additions with the last few blocks. Any suggestions are welcome!
