I can't be the only person that immediately though of the keywords "prowess" and "heroic" after looking at Wild Defiance since the introduction of these mechanics. As it turns out, they go together like bread and butter. Or cereal and milk. Or strawberries and kiwi. Bottom line, I think Wild Defiance could be the key (one of many keys, really) for turning Green/White Heroic into a viable modern deck. Just my take on things. The list here is rough and in its early stages, but it can consistently dish out 20+ damage by turn 4 which is decent in my book.The deck itself is a pretty straightforward mix: pump spells, creatures that love pump spells, and Wild Defiance to make things truly massive. Protection spells like Center Soul and Faith's Shield wok both as protection against removal and ways to make your creatures unblockable (nothing more annoying than having your 16/15 Favored Hoplite blocked by a 1/1 goblin token).Tell me what you think! Suggestions are always welcome.
