I don't see what this deck is trying to do really. It is very unfocused and relies on 2 4 mana cards and having tokens out. No way to dig into the "combo" and said combo doesn't win you the game

hey thanks for the comment!

The deck is trying to get a few tokens out before turn 4-5. If they aren't removed a Mirrorweave Hero of Bladehold will turn all creatures into the creature, giving me multiple instances of battlecry on all the tokens I just got. (my opponents creatures will always lose during combat)

How does all that damage not win me the game?

Any suggestions on how to dig in my combo? Which is what I am calling the COMBinatiOn of cards.

JUST BUILD JUND! jk lol.

If your having trouble with infect decks, I know this sounds a little unorthodox but you could splash green for Melira, Sylvok Outcast , plus theres TONS of green token pump cards and such. Voice of Resurgence and Doubling Season would be other things to consider if you did decide to splash green.

Leonin Arbiter or its $8 counterpart Aven Mindcensor are great in a fetchland littered format.

Word to what cschiller said, cards like that are crippling, especially against my deck lol. But any deck running fetch lands (so basically all modern decks) are really hurt

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I am trying out Leonin Arbiter although I will admit that Aven Mindcensor is much better. The 3 mana part of it kind of irks me though, by the time I would get that out I think a lot of its advantage would be gone, turn 3 I really want to be playing a Spectral Procession or a Ajani, Caller of the Pride

I still am looking for help so fire away

I am considering including a few Wall of Omens helps me stabilize the board and delve into my deck searching for Mirrorweave any thoughts?

Just wondering, how is that 50ish damage?

Let's say you have 3 tokens and a Hero of Bladehold on the field.

Mirrorweave turns the 3 tokens into Hero of Bladehold s.

4 Hero of Bladehold s attack, generating 8 tokens which can deal 8 damage. The 4 Hero of Bladehold s deal 12 damage so 20 overall. Nothing to scoff at but not 50. Am I missing a piece of the puzzle?

Guess I should have actually counted. I will change the description.

I just did the math, 4 heroes attacking + the tokens receiving battle cry is a total of 56 damage

June 9, 2014 2:57 p.m.

The piece of your puzzle missing is that Battle Cry exists. The 8 tokens don't deal 1 damage each... at least, they don't have to. You can stack the triggers so that they all receive the boosts from Battle Cry. That will make each of the tokens attack for 5. Likewise, the Heroes attack for 6 each, not 3 each. That will total 64 damage, actually - a heck of a lot more than 20 or even 50.

Math is hard

Ahh right, Battle Cry is a thing lol

Yeah 64 damage distributed over 12 creatures is kinda hard to deal with haha

Pretty brutal man, +1 =-)

I fell like Blade Splicer is a little out of place here. The golem tokens do not benefit from Brave the Elements nor Honor of the Pure .

I think Midnight Haunting or a minor splash of black with Lingering Souls would make a much better fit.

Blade splicers is good because it gives me 2 creature for one, the golem token is also another possible target for mirrorweave if I am majorly ahead and have no heroes, giving all my creatures 3 power

Not a bad idea, Soldier of the Pantheon and Dryad Militant both have abilities that are usually irrelevant. But soldiers hosing abilities seem like they'd be more relevant in most matchups. I'll try it out thanks
