+1's are appreciated, and criticism is needed! Thank you!This deck is almost always undefeated at FNM, simply due to the high amount of removal and the ridiculously good creatures. It has trouble when AEtherling or Sylvan Primordial or Archangel of Thune + Elspeth, Sun's Champion hit the board. So far it's been beaten by a white deck running the Elspeth and Thune combo to make ridiculously big things to deal with my ridiculously big things, and a TurboFog deck with Riot Control , Fog, Druid's Deliverance into AEtherling and Sylvan Primordial for the win. This deck can usually beat aggro decks, as the removal can take you into a midrange game pretty easily, and this deck midranges incredibly well. Token decks can be a bit of a challenge, as they can constantly sac to Desecration Demon to keep him tapped down, however a nice Bile Blight naming "Centaur" should take care of that. This deck is ridiculously mean, and offers a wide variety of fun wins.
