SHORT STORY COMING SOON!

This deck is the first I've ever made with a story in mind. The basic premise is that your opponent's commander has murdered Akroma. Elspeth takes this extremely hard, considering herself to be a protector of the land. Believing that she has failed her job, she begins the task of building an army to seek justice for Akroma. She traverses Innistrad, Ravnica, and Theros with the purpose of bringing the forces of good together to slaughter her enemies. But at the same time, she wishes for a short battle, and prays that her desire for justice won't cloud her judgment with vengeance.

Mechanically, the way to pilot this deck is to not hit for any damage until you can swing for lethal, keeping the battle to a bare minimum and focusing on life gain, creature pump, and defense/protection until that fateful moment.

Couple of things before I ask for suggestions. Nothing that can bring things back from the graveyard. I used to have Defy Death and Sun Titan in here before realizing that if dead creatures can come back to life, why not bring Akroma back? Doesn't make sense for the flavor of the deck to have graveyard bouncing, so once it's dead, it's dead. Also, this deck is my tribute to Ravnica/Theros standard Boros as I started playing in Gatecrash and loved the Boros guild from the get go. This deck is meant to keep cards from that set playable.

Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks for checking it out!
