My original inspiration for this deck: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=1246180

I have a lot of things that I kind of want to try with this deck, but, as much as I (surprisingly) don't want to admit it, this list is solid. That being said, I strongly encourage feedback and strongly encourage you to swap cards out and swap cards in and then tell me how it goes. Maybe try playing 5 swords and no quest or something. That might be cool.

These are the actual win cards:

• Student of Warfare
• Squadron Hawk
• Gavony Township
• Argentum Armor + Quest for the Holy Relic
• Batterskull
• Sword of Fire and Ice
• Sword of Light and Shadow
• Voice of Resurgence

This deck has a death and taxes shell with an old zendikar/mirrodan standard combo. It can fairly consistently resolve a Quest for the Holy Relic effect on turn 4, fetching Argentum Armor to win. It does not need to resolve a quest effect to win.

An alternate win-condition is Squadron Hawk beatdown in conjunction with Gavony Township.

On a similar vein, Student of Warfare often steals games being a 4/4 doublestriker.

Voice of Resurgence elemental tokens are also incredibly powerful against aggro or midrange decks.

I removed the whole "matchup" section because it keeps changing and I don't want to update every time new builds are released for other decks besides mine :|
