This is the most excited I've been about a deck in a long time, I think that I might actually build this deck for these few months that it will remain legal. It has some explosive starts, swinging for upwards of 15-20 unblockable damage by turn five.
Synergy
Champion of Lambholt and Hero of Bladehold
The backbone of this deck. Hero is probably my favorite card ever, and the Champion just works so well for it, adding at least two +1/+1 counters every time it attacks, not to mention battlecry.
Parallel Lives and Mimic Vat
What's that? You finally killed one of my threats? Time to make it again. And again. Now let's double it. And the second token stays on the battlefield! Imprinted Geist-Honored Monk? Time to pump out some 10/10 vigilance haste. Imprinted
Wolfir Silverheart
? Time to do some massive pumping. Imprinted Hero of Bladehold? That's game. Having Champion of Lambholt out is just gravy.
Parallel Lives and Elspeth Tirel
I already have a five mana sorcery that makes five humans, this is a five mana sorcery that makes six. Then next turn I'm going to gain a Lot of life. Repeat. This also beefs my champion up Really quickly.
Wolfir Silverheart
and Champion of Lambholt
This makes Champion immediately a 5/5, 6/6 if wolfir entered second as he often will. the 6/6 mark is really important as titans are such a heavy part of the metagame right now, and taking their ability to block away is huge.
Six mana dorks and twelve three drops (Notably Champion of Lambholt)
Getting her out on turn two is big game, and more mana = more tokens.
And of course, Champion of Lambholt, a slew of token generators (along with Parallel Lives)
The synergy here should be obvious. Make a Lot of tokens, beef them up with Gavony Township (a great mana sink), make them all unblockable, and swing for lethal with an army of tokens and a huge Champion.
Gameplay
The main idea of this deck is as such:
Turn one Birds of Paradise. Turn two Champion of Lambholt. Turn three Hero of Bladehold and Champion goes to 2/2. Take opponent to 18. Turn four Parallel Lives and mana dork of choice (this is optional). Champion will go to 3/3 if you dropped a dork and after swinging with Hero, Champion will go to 8/7 or 7/6. Take opponent to 0. If they're still alive, drop
Wolfir Silverheart
, Elspeth Tirel, or even more tokens and swing for lethal.
Mimic Vat (my second favorite card) is for spot removal/boardwipes. If you have Hero of Bladehold out and feel like they're sitting pretty on a Day of Judgment, keep up three mana and during their endstep make a hero. Make one more during your turn and swing for 20 exactly.
SO the question is, should you wipe and let me imprint hero? Or let me keep it and win.
