Black and White Bestow-based deck.

Utilizing the new Heroic mechanic, I have attempted to make the best out of Bestow.

Using Crypt Ghast to ramp up to earlier enchanting, a Celestial Archon can equip to any heroic creature (Hopefully Agent of the Fates or Fabled Hero), triggering Heroic, having the Agent force them to open their field a bit, or have Hero swing in for tons of damage.

Why did I choose B/W and the Heroic creatures I did?

• I simply think these are the best targets for my Heroic triggers. Tormented Hero is a great turn 1, giving me an aggressive start. 2/1 for 1 sets me ahead of my opponent on turn 2, if I'm on the play. I would trade with any creature he can play, which is great.

• Agent of the Fates is really cool, as every time he's targeted by me, my opponent sacrifices a creature and loses a little board presence. (Sure, Desecration Demon does his job better, but that doesn't fit the theme).

• Fabled Hero is amazing. Hands down. Since he has double strike, I can essentially bring him out, swing for a bit, then enchant him with Nighthowler, hoping there are at least 3 creatures in graveyards (Because there should be more than that by this time), and have Hero double the bonus when attacking. Combine him with Cavalry Pegasus and now he has evasion in the skies.

Nighthowler is really good when early game I'm trading my Tormented Heroes and in between early and mid I'm constantly trading or taking creatures.

Celestial Archon is a really good enchantment, period. And, when the enchanted creature dies, they still have to deal with a 4/4 First Strike Flyer.

• Protip: When you enchant this to a creature, look your opponent dead in the face, and in the most triumphant tone you can muster, say, "Celestial Archon, motherfucker." Bonus points if you can say it in Greek.
