Tempo Aggro.

I wish I could play about 12 copies of Champion of the Parish. We all know that card is amazing, and it REALLY shines in a deck like this. Basically I want to cast a Champion on my first turn and then either play Mayor of Avabruck or Gather the Townsfolk on turn two and attack for three. My third turn options are either play Skyknight and hopefully nullify one of their creatures or play Paladin and make my Champion huge... Of course one of my favorite turn three plays after a turn two 'Gather'(when my opponent is tapped out and I know I wont get rocked) is simply to cast Mass Appeal and draw three fresh ones. Additionally, Mayor is good on turn three after a turn two Gather(or turn two Mayor). My Champion will be an attacking 5/5 and if I'm really lucky I can use the spare green mana to cast Rancor and make him enormous...

Overall, I think the deck plays really well, I have been tweaking the mana base a lot the past few days trying to get it just right and I decided that 22 lands is the right number(originally I had started with 24 and I had Sigarda, Host of Herons at the top of my curve).

Please playtest the deck and let me know what you think. I would love some feedback and if anyone has any ideas on how I could make these 60 cards even better, please feel free to share.

P.S. The sideboard feels like kind of a mess to me... I am anticipating a lot of Zombies and Graveyard strategies in the meta game, at least in NE Ohio.
