This deck is all about making it as hard as possible for your opponents to attack you while you kill them with Daxos as fast as possible. Most of the creatures in the deck are there for protecting you and blocking. Then you pump up Daxos with all the enchantments and equipment and swing wildly. Stealing your opponents stuff makes things even more fun, even if it's just for more chump blockers.

Evasion:

Protection for Daxos so he can attack:

Protection for yourself:

Other Taxing Cards:

Double Strike from Battle Mastery, Duelist's Heritage, and Fireshrieker lets you exile two cards from an opponents library each turn if Daxos gets through. Sword of Feast and Famine then untaps lands making it easier to to cast those cards. As Foretold can also be used to cast exiled cards.

If you can get Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, and Sphere of Safety out, then it costs at least 7 mana for each creature to attack you.

Lantern of Insight lets you see what cards you can try to steal from your opponents each turn. Or you can just use it to make someone shuffle a good card away.

More voltron! I've decided to kill people faster with this deck now. Here are the changes.

+ Bloodforged Battle-Axe / - Thada Adel, Acquisitor

  • Thada has a cool ability, but I really only care about Daxos getting through, so I almost never gave her extra evasion of any kind. She became a blocker most of the time.

  • The battleaxe is an equipment that gives us more equipment. What's not to like.

+ Duelist's Heritage / - Isperia, Supreme Judge

  • I pretty much swapped these eariler for more pillowfort, but now I'm switching them back for more killing power. Giving doublestrike to a creature that isn't even mine could prove useful at times.

+ Hammer of Nazahn / - Strionic Resonator

  • The hammer is more protection for Daxos and makes equipping free for the first time on each equipment while it's out.

  • The resonator was a nifty way to double triggers of Daxos' ability, but I've decided that doublestrike is just better since I don't have to leave mana open for it.

+ Puresteel Paladin / - Serene Master

  • I've been thinking about adding the paladin for a long time now. I've just finally gotten my hands on one. The extra card draw offsets the loss of Isperia and free equip costs is an amazing addition.

  • Serene Master is a great blocker, but I don't always need a great blocker. Especially when I'm killing my opponents fast enough.
