I always thought Battlefield Thaumaturge was severely underrated. It seems like now is his time to shine.
Turn one: forest- Elvish Mystic
Turn two: island- Battlefield Thaumaturge and Hardened Scales
Turn 3: forest- Sage of Hours then Incremental Growth for 2 green targeting your Elvish Mystic for one counter, Sage of Hours for two, and Battlefield Thaumaturge for three. Heroic will trigger on Battlefield Thaumaturge and Sage of Hours, making one hexproof for the turn and giving a counter to the other. Hardened Scales will increase the counters given to them from heroic and Incremental Growth, which will result in FIVE +1/+1 counters on Sage of Hours. You now have a 3/3, a 6/5, and a 6/6 on turn 3 AND you can take an extra turn.
Icy Blast serves you well with Battlefield Thaumaturge for tapping creatures (including your own for heroic) for one mana. If one of your creatures is beefy enough, you can freeze your opponent's creatures for a turn.
Glimpse the Sun God does similar, but let's you scry (helpful if you're taking the extra turn). Use these tap abilities to protect your Battlefield Thaumaturge with hexproof!
Tethmos High Priest helps you bring back Battlefield Thaumaturge in case you manage to lose him, or he can bring back Elvish Mystic for a mana dork, or Sage of Hours for more time travel.
Phalanx Leader helps put more counters on your creatures. Combined with Hardened Scales things get a tad bit ridiculous.
Tuskguard Captain is for when you feel the need to plow through. I was thinking of adding Longshot Squad to compensate for my severe lack of flying, but still undecided.
I added white for protection and support, and for Ajani, Caller of the Pride. White can just as easily be replaced with red for burn in this case. White however, is much friendlier to Sage of Hours when it comes to +1/+1 counters.
Any feedback would be very much appreciated!
