Pillowfort... and Aggro?

The best defense is a good offense!

I wanted to build a deck that had a big board presence, while laying waste to artifact-heavy decks, creature-combat decks, and combo decks. This deck does four things:

1. Keeps aggro down with boardsweeps and large token armies.
2. Keeps combo/stax at bay by erasing the graveyard, mass-wiping artifacts, and giving you hexproof.
3. Group-hugs everyone to keep the politics from turning to archenemy.
4. Gains card advantage with Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis combined with a ton of planeswalkers.

Army-Building

Single-card armies like Avenger of Zendikar, Omnath, Locus of Rage, Rampaging Baloths, and Chasm Skulker let you rebuild instantly after a board wipe (most likely cast by yourself). Save your bounce-lands like Simic Growth Chamber to keep using your landfall triggers.

Damage Prevention

Empyrial Archangel and Palisade Giant soak up damage so you can keep on keepin' on.

Creature Protection

Heroic Intervention, Darksteel Plate, and Selfless Spirit help keep your defenses up when someone else tries to breach your fort. Combine Darksteel Plate with Palisade Giant!

Combo/Control Protection

Not enough protection for you? Sigarda, Host of Herons keeps the spellslingers at bay by giving you hexproof. Sigarda also protects herself and our general, and she produces tokens!

Ground Seal, Scavenger Grounds and Rest in Peace invalidate whole decklists (basically, anything running black). Ground Seal lets us keep using most of our graveyard-specific cards, like Ramunap Excavator and Seasons Past. We do lose access Sun Titan, but since we control when these cards are played, it shouldn't be a game-breaker.

Card Advantage

Sphinx's Revelation, Well of Ideas , Dictate of Kruphix, and your general help keep your hand full and ready for action. A half dozen ramp spells build your manabase for crazy mana-flared turns. This deck wants to hang back and wait for the right moment to set up. Thanks to Kynaios' ability and our mana flare effects, nobody will want to race to kill us anyways.

Ramp

This deck loves land drops. I'm using four bounce-lands like Selesnya Sanctuary, which have great synergy with landfall and with Kiora's Follower. Additionally, Tempt with Discovery and Realms Uncharted help us dig for our best utility lands, while Ranger's Path and fetch-lands get us all 8 of our on-color dual basics like Irrigated Farmland. For protection from blood moon effects, this deck runs 11 basic lands, and these are easily fetched.

Pure Aggro

Out of nowhere, Titanic Ultimatum or Ajani, Valiant Protector can help you alpha strike the board for lethal damage.

Super-Friends

If you're going to build a pillow fort, you'd better be doing something behind those walls. A suite of eight planeswalkers tick away, giving you insane card advantage to feed your fort.

• Ajani Unyielding digs for more defensive goodies, condemns creatures, and ultimates other planeswalkers.

• Chandra, Flamecaller gives you card advantage, assists with alpha strikes, and sweeps creatures.

• Kiora, Master of the Depths keeps your defenses up and nets card advantage, and ultimates to massive 8/8's!

• Kiora, the Crashing Wave prevents damage from a single source, doubles down your general's draw/land effects, and adds one Kraken per turn.

• Nissa, Steward of Elements is a draw engine that sometimes helps with a Titanic Ultimatum alpha strike.

• Nissa, Vital Force turns one of your lands into a huge 5/5 blocker, and provides recursion (which this deck doesn't rely on heavily).

• Tamiyo, Field Researcher has Omniscience as an emblem, and provides insane card advantage. She also helps defense!

• Xenagos, the Reveler ramps an insane amount with any token creator, and makes blockers himself.

And the best thing about this deck? All this chaotic, alpha-striking, mana-doubling, group-hugging, politics-playing awesomeness is less than $200 total! Makes the Doubling Season easier to pick up (soon!)
