How to Play

All Game

Look for opportunities to play Declaration in Stone or Cast Out, to muck up your Opponent's tempo, or get rid of threats.

Early Game

• Exerting Battlefield Scavenger can let you start filtering cards.

• Exerting Glory-Bound Initiate gives it a boost that should make it difficult for Opponent Creature to block, and also puts your Opponent on a slower clock.

Mid Game

• Thalia, Heretic Cathar is the priority at this stage, because she slows down your Opponent, and her First Strike lets her survive against most Creatures.

• Always Watching is the next card you should try to get on the field. It's what allows your Creatures to be Exerted, without tapping.

• Bygone Bishop is great for both card draw, and to get some evasion through Flying.

• Ahn-Crop Crasher helps to allow more damage through by shutting down the biggest threat.

Late Game

• Tah-Crop Elite is excellent at buffing all your Creatures up, and is a priority to cast at this stage of the game. The Flying is nice, too.

• Emberhorn Minotaur pumps itself. If you have Always Watching and Tah-Crop Elite on the field, this thing can become huge.

• Glorybringer may become a bigger priority than Tah-Crop Elite if you need to start dispatching Opponent Creatures. It's Haste and Flying can end the game very quickly.

WIN CONDITIONS

1. This is simply a beat down deck so massive amounts of damage, and threat removal, is how you win the game.

2. You can pump Creatures up to get more damage through.

LAND

Lands produce equal amounts of and due to Turn 2 Creatures both requiring those colours.

Sideboard

Archangel Avacyn   rescues your Creatures, gives you a flier with Vigilance, and lets you board wipe.

Cast Out gives you an extra chance to lock down a threat like Aetherworks Marvel or Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger.

Cataclysmic Gearhulk allows you to clear an Opponent's field that has gone wide, while still leaving you with a decent Creature.

Forsake the Worldly deals with annoying Artifacts and Enchantments, such as Aetherworks Marvel and Always Watching , and lets you Exile Scrapheap Scrounger and Torrential Gearhulk.

Make a Stand can protect your Creatures against an early board wipe.
