A "power matters" voltron aggro deck that is guaranteed to kill itself, and sometimes your opponents. Lopsided creatures feed Greven to draw cards, and several outlets for life loss let you pump his power to push damage. Scattered about is just enough life-gain to stay alive while you look for finishers like Chandra's Ignition to kill the table. A couple of combat tricks can be used to kill unsuspecting opponents who don't block under the assumption you are only going to hit them for nominal damage. Tainted Strike is perhaps the most unexpected reversal card for voltron decks, made more fun by the fact that you can use it on opponent's creatures.

Let me know what you think!
