Hey man, thats really cool! I Love the synergy of the team and all the heroic triggers!What do you think about scrylands? Will you add Temple of Enlightenment when BNG comes out? It could be good for digging out that Brave the Elements or something :)

Yeah I am, but not sure if it will end up being a playset or just 2. depends on how much it slows down the early game. Ideally I want the first three turns to be like, cloud fin, t2 favored hoplite plus aqueous form, t3 phalanx with like a god's willing because he usually gets zapped pretty quick. I'm super stoked about BNG though. I also have a white weenie/enchantment deck that I think may actually be competitive once i get my hands on those white dudes. Thanks for leaving a comment.

I ran a deck just like it. What happens when they wrath? Do you just concede?

No, because I don't play all my dudes at once. I've been messing around with Rootborn Defenses and though I don't have any tokens to populate, the indestructibility sure is nice. Or running some type of unsummon. There's not alot of dudes playing boardwipes in my area right now. So the ones that do, I'll just have to race.

wraths are probably my number one enemy as of right now.

I bet they are. Even if you don't play all your dudes at once.

I've thought about using Gift of Immortality .

JamestheJoo says... #8

Actually that's a great idea. I just pulled one this afternoon, but hadn't really looked at it or thought much about it. Thanks for reminding me, I'll have to play with that too.

I've always found that Gift of Immortality is abusable with Bubbling Cauldron . Gives you a form of Burn Survivability.

JamestheJoo says... #10

Oh man, I didn't even think of that. Nice call. I have exactly one gift of immortality. I'll have to test it out and see if it is worth getting a cauldron or two for the side.

Fun card for you to consider once BNG comes out: Ephara's Enlightenment ! Not only will it trigger and trigger again, but, wait for it.... MORE COUNTERS! Plus, flying is never bad in a pinch.

oh that's definitely going in the deck thanks for the tip.

Dude, you don't even need a deck. You get a +1 just for deck name and description!

JamestheJoo says... #14

Ha thanks noobplayer17.

Kizmetto says... #15

I honestly dont know what to suggest! But I might playtest this against my own deck Oreskos' Legion and see how they fare up, as they are both early-ish decks.

JamestheJoo says... #16

I'm actually doing that right now.

February 2, 2014 6:28 p.m.

thee_Forrest says... #17

it is now but it wasn't. I am putting his due credit to him don't worry. my phone died earlier when I made the switches. plus the presentation is different, the side is different, the land count is different and I'll be making even more changes once I get my hands on the BnG cards that I want.

Sorry for not getting his/her name up fast enough.

I actually just pulled on and am playtesting with it right now in my grip.

Now I'm gonna have to level with you.

Using the Nivmagus Elemental to abuse the Heroic ability is pretty freaking smart.

Using Bioshift which triggers a counter and allows you to reallocate as an instant? That's pretty freaking smart.

Abusing Fabled Hero 's Double Strike in order to cast Hidden Strings twice for a total of 4 counters per swing along with the ability to use it to untap lands?

F**KING GENIUS!!

The gifs sold me on this deck, and it is also a very clever deck. Double-whammy man, +1

Thanks HawkDog my wife gave me the idea for the gifs.

I was thinking up an Azorius heroic deck and it was pretty much exactly like this with a few exceptions.

Do you find the 2x Fabled Hero are enough? Wouldn't you rather go with 3x or 4x?

Also, I had planned to use Ephara's Enlightenment instead of Ordeal of Thassa . Has it behaved really well here?
